Sammy Kershaw - Don't Go Near The Water lyrics

Your rating:

Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
Honey, do your remember?
You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
Then 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 could still hear your mama calling "Don't go near the water"

We fell right in
Went over our head
But we didn't go near the water
Nothing beats 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

We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking 
As you sneaked up the back stairs
Mama waiting like a grizzly bear
Had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair
But in the morning light you'd look her right in the eye
It wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the water

We fell right in
Went over our head
But we didn't go near the water
Nothing beats 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 about that big muddy river
She shouldn't worried about 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
