Don't Go Near The Water

Your momma used to worry bout' that big muddy river,

Hunny do you remember?

You let the screen door slam as you

stepped off the front porch,

ya hear ya momma callin' "Don't be late"

And I could hear ya daddy Hollar

"Son she's my only daughter"

You'd stick your nose in the Honey Suckle

down by the gate. I can still hear your momma

callin "Don't go near the water"

We fell right in way over our heads,

but we didn't go near the water,

A love and deep so young a sweet

and the nights got hotter and hotter.

We sho' Nuff gettin our feet wet momma,

but we didn't go near the water.

You hear the rockin' chair squeakin as

you sneak up the back stairs, momma waitin

like a grizzly bear

but you had to get the Honey Suckle outta yo' hair.

But in the morrnin light, We looked her

right in the eyes, and it wasn't a lie,

We didn't go near the water.

We fell right in way over our heads,

but we didn't go near the water.

A love and deep, So young and sweet,

and the nights got hotter and hotter.

We Sho' nuff' gettin our feet wet momma,

but we didn't go near the water

We fell right in way over our heads,

but we didn't go near the water,

A love and deep so young a sweet

and the nights got hotter and hotter.

We sho' Nuff gettin our feet wet momma,

but we didn't go near the water.

Your momma used to worry bout that

big Muddy river,

She should have worried bout me.

Cause we were sho' nuff gettin our feet

wet momma but we didn't go near the

water

Didn't go near the water
