Don't Go Near The Water

(album: Don't Go Near The Water - 1991)

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 ya momma calling "Don't be late"
And I could hear ya 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"

We fell right in way over our heads,
but we didn't go near the water,
A love and 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 rocking chair squeakin as
you sneak up the back stairs, momma waitin
like a grizzly bear
but you had to get the Honey Suckle outta yo' 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.

We fell right in way over our heads,
but we didn't go near the water.
A love and 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

We fell right in way over our heads,
but we didn't go near the water,
A love and 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.

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

Didn't go near the water [x2]
