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 be late
And I'd hear your daddy holler
Son she's my only daughter
You'd stick your nose
in the honeysuckle
Down by the gate
I can still heart
your mama callin'
Don't go near the water
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
We were sure enough
gettin' our feet wet mama
But we didn't go
near the water
You'd hear a rockin'
chair squeakin'
As you'd sneak up
the backstairs
Mama waitin'
like a grizzly bear
Had to get the honeysuckle
out of your hair
But in the mornin' light
You'd look her right in the eye
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
The love ran deep
so young and sweet
And the nights got
hotter and hotter
We were sure enough
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
about me
'Cause we were sure enough
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
