Lyrics:

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 calling, '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 hear your mama calling, 'Don't go near the water'

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


You'd hear the rocking chair squeaking
As you sneak up the back stairs
Mama waiting like a grizzly bear
You had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair
But in the morning light, you'd look 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
Our love ran deep, so young and sweet
And the nights got hotter and hotter
We were sure enough getting our feet wet, mama
But we didn't go near the water

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

'Cause we were sure enough getting 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
