Tim Mcgraw - Between the River & Me

制作

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

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
