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
