You, Me & The River (with Eric Church) [feat. Eric Church]
If it wasn't so dark out here tonight
I know I'd be a hell of a sight
Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe
If I told you once, I told you twice
You better not touch my Clementine
But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
Between you, me and the river
It's been a long week working overtime
That's why I got home early tonight
And when I saw your car, I could smell the trouble
So I turned off my headlights
And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
And I went to the shed to get my shovel
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
Between you, me and the river
Yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh
They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time
The last goodbye, my alibi
And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder
I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me
But I'll smile at the memory
Of my diamond on her hand as she went under
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
Between you, me and the river
Between you, me and the river
I know I'd be a hell of a sight
Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe
If I told you once, I told you twice
You better not touch my Clementine
But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
Between you, me and the river
It's been a long week working overtime
That's why I got home early tonight
And when I saw your car, I could smell the trouble
So I turned off my headlights
And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
And I went to the shed to get my shovel
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
Between you, me and the river
Yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh
They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time
The last goodbye, my alibi
And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder
I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me
But I'll smile at the memory
Of my diamond on her hand as she went under
Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy
In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her
So tonight I lay me down to sleep
And pray my soul and my secret to keep
Between you, me and the river
Between you, me and the river
