Between The River And Me

I was 15 when my daddy died

Momma worked 2 jobs just to get by

Seemed like a blessin' when Harley came around

So she took his name but i had my doubts

Didn't take long for his drinkin ways

To start showing up on momma's face

One violent night hiding under my bed,

I swore that he wouldn't see another sunset

Next day i followed him down to the riverbank

I knew one of us wouldn't walk away

(Chorus 1)

Might of had a plan but he didn't know it

Might of been scared but i didn't show it

That's all between the river and me

With the current and the rocks it could have been risky

He might have been sober, but i brought the whiskey

And That's all between the river and me

I walked up to him and i said his name

Just so he could see the look on my face

We stood eye to eye and toe to toe

When i told him that he wasn't gonna come back home

He raised his fist to me but i didn't flench

I said i ain't your son or a son of a b****

(Chorus 2)

Might of had a knife in my back pocket

Might of pulled it out before he saw it

That's all between the river and me

I might of had a gun but i didn't fire it

He might of tried to yell but i kept him quiet

That's all between the river and me

That's all between the river and me

Ohh.. river and me

Mmm.. yeah

The sheriff came knockin' on our front door

Said they found his body by the resevore

Bottle in his shirt, liquor in his blood

Must have fallen in the river and he never came up...

(Chorus 3)

Might have been blood but they never saw it

Just a little mud on the livin' room carpet

That's all between the river and me

After what he did lord it ain't no wonder

Can't remember how long i held him under

That's all between the river and me

That's all between the river and me

Ohh, that's all, that's all between the river and me

Oooohh That's all between the river and me, yeah
