Your mamma used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
F C D
Honey, do you remember
G
You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
You heard your mamma callin' don't be late
F C G
I'd hear your daddy holler, "Son, she's my honey daughter"
F
You'd stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate
C G
I can still hear your mama calling, "don't go near the water"
G F C F
We fell right in way over our heads
G F C F
But, we didn't go near the water
G F C F
In love - in deep - so young and sweet
D D7
And the nights got hotter and hotter
G F C F
We were sure 'nuff gettin' our feet wet, mama
G F C
But, we didn't go near the water
G
You hear the rockin' chair squeakin' when you stepped off the back steps
Mama waitin' like a grizzley bear
F C G
Had to get the honeysuck le out of your hair
F
But, in the morning light, you looked her right in the eye
C G
It wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the water
G F C F
We fell right in way over our heads
G F C F
But, we didn't go near the water
G F C F
In love - in deep - so young and sweet
D D7
And the nights got hotter and hotter
G F C F
We were sure 'nuff gettin' our feet wet, mama
G F C F
But, we didn't go near the water
G
Your mama used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
D D7
She shoulda worried 'bout me
G F C F
We were sure 'nuff gettin' our feet wet, mama
G F C F
But, we didn't go near the water
F C G
Didn't go near the water
F C G
Didn't go near the water
