G
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
