The Warren Brothers - Between the River and Me lyrics

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 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**** 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... 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
