Don't Go Near The Water Lyrics - Sammy Kershaw

Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river 

Honey do your remember? 

You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch 

Then your mama calling don't be late 

And I'd hear your daddy holler, "Son she's my only daughter" 

You'd stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate 

I can still hear your mama calling, "Don't go near the water" 

We fell right in, went over our head 

But we didn't go near the water 

And nothing beats so young and sweet 

And the nights got hotter and hotter 

We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama 

But we didn't go near the water 

We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking 

As you sneaked up the back stairs 

Mama waiting like a grizzly bear 

And had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair 

But in the morning light 

You'd look her right in the eye 

It wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the water 

We fell right in, went over our head 

But we didn't go near the water 

Well nothing beats so young and sweet 

And the nights got hotter and hotter 

We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama 

But we didn't go near the water 

Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river 

She should've worried about me 

'Cause we were sure enough getting our feet wet mama 

But we didn't go near the water 

Didn't go near the water 

Didn't go near the water, yeah
