Don't Go Near The Water

Your mama used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
Honey, do you remember?
You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
Hear your mama callin' "Don't you be late"
And I'd hear your daddy holler, "Son, she's my only daughter"
You'd stick your nose in the honey suckle down by the gate
I can still hear you mama callin' "Don't go near the water"

We fell right in way over our heads
But we didn't go near the water
And love ran deep, so young and sweet
And the nights got hotter and hotter
We was sure 'nough gettin' our feet wet, mama
But we didn't go near the water

We'd hear the rockin' chair squeakin' as we sneaked up the back stairs
Mama waitin' like a grizzly bear
We had to get the honey suckle out of your hair
But in the mornin' light, we'd look her right in the eye
It wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the water

And we fell right in way over our heads
But we didn't go near the water
The love ran deep, so young and sweet
And the nights got hotter and hotter
And we was sure 'nough gettin' our feet wet, mama
But we didn't go near the water

Your mama used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
She should've worried 'bout me

'Cause we was sure 'nough gettin' our feet wet, mama
But we didn't go near the water
Didn't go near the water
Didn't go near the water, yeah, yeah, yeah
