Between the River and Me
Lyricist:Brett Beavers, Brad Warren, Brett Warren
I was fifteen when my daddy died Momma worked two jobs just to get by It seemed like a blessing when Harley came around So she took his name but I had my doubts
It didn't take long for his drinking ways To start showin' up on Momma's face One violent night hiding under my bed I swore that he'd never see another sunset
Next day I followed him down to the river bank I knew one of us wouldn't walk away
I mighta had a plan but he didn't know it I mighta 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 He stood out a while and told a joke 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 or the son of a bitch, no'

I mighta had a gun but I didn't fire it He mighta tried to yell but I kept him quiet But that's all between the river and me But that's all between the river and me Ooh, the river and me Yeah
The sheriff come knockin' on our front door Said they found his body by the reservoir Bottle in his shirt, liquor in his blood Must have fallen in the river and he never came up
Might've been blood but they never saw it Just a little mud on the living room carpet But that's all between the river and me
After what he did Lord there ain't no wonder Can't remember how long I held him under But that's all between the river and me That's all between the river and me
Lord, that's all, that's all between the river and me Oh, that's all between the river and me Yeah
