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 your momma callin', "Don't be late."
And I could hear your 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."

Chours:
We fell right in way over our heads
But we didnt go near the water
A love so 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 grizzely bear
But you had to get the Honey Suckle outta your 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.

Chours:
We fell right in way over our heads
But we didn't go near the water
A love so 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.

Chours:
We fell right in way over our heads
But we didn't go near the water
A love so 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.

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.

Didnt go near the water.
Didnt go near the water...
