Between The River And Me lyrics |

|
I was fifteen when my daddy died, mama worked two jobs just to get by Seemed like a blessing when Harley came around so she took his name but I had my doubts Didn't take long for his drinking ways to start showing up on mama'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 I might have had a plan but he didn't know it I might have 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 misty He might have been sober but I brought the whiskey 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 flinch I said 'I ain't your son you son of a bitch' I might have had a knife in my back pocket I might have pulled it out before he saw it That's all between the river and me I might have had a gun but I didn't fire it He might have tried to yell but I kept him quiet That's all between the river and me That's all between the river and me [Instrumental bridge] Sheriff came knocking on our front door They said they found his body by the reservoir Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood |
He must have fallen in the river and he never came up There might have been blood but they never saw it Just a little mud on the living room carpet That's all between the river and me Well after what he done there ain't no wonder I 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 That's all between the river and me That's all That's all |
