lyrics

Once or twice I pushed you around
You were in a laundry basket
I was driving you around the house
You'd crack up so I'd do it again
That's the way it goes when you meet your best friend

And I always said she was the cutest kid
Knew she'd be pretty but
She grew up perfect

And I need to find a girl that can make me laugh the way you do
I wish I had the money you need to pay your way through school
And I'll do my best to mess up first so
Maybe you don't have to because

You're my favorite girl

Once or twice I pushed you around
You fell on your ass and you cried when you hit the ground
You must have been maybe three years old
I looked at my friends and I told em we were going home
Because when your eyes welled up I could not ignore
I was done being mean
Thank God she grew up perfect

And I need to write you letters cause when you leave our home behind
The people like your family become impossible to find
And we know a phone calls faster
But I want you to know I took the time
Because you're my favorite girl

My favorite girl

I find a way to get home most every winter
She calls me Benny, I smile and on her cheek, I kiss her
These days my friends make jokes and talk about her pictures
I laugh them off I ain't met a boy yet
Man enough to say two words to my sister

Man I could go all day about just what she means to me
We'll drink some when she's twenty-one and she'll finish her degree
And someday she's gonna have children
And I'm wagering my niece is gonna be
A lot like my favorite girl

My favorite girl
