Between The River And Me Lyrics - Tim McGraw

1 I was fifteen when my daddy died, mama worked two jobs just to get by

2 Seemed like a blessing when Harley came around so she took his name but I had my doubts

3 Didn't take long for his drinking ways to start showing up on mama's face

4 One violent night hiding under my bed I swore that he wouldn't see another sunset

5 Next day I followed him down to the riverbank

6 I knew one of us wouldn't walk away

7 I might have had a plan but he didn't know it

8 I might have been scared but I didn't show it

9 That's all between the river and me

10 With the current and the rocks it could have been risky

11 He might have been sober but I brought the whiskey

12 That's all between the river and me

13 I walked up to him and I said his name

14 Just so he could see the look on my face

15 We stood eye to eye and toe to toe

16 When I told him that he wasn't gonna come back home

17 He raised his fist to me but I didn't flinch

18 I said 'I ain't your son you son of a bitch'

19 I might have had a knife in my back pocket

20 I might have pulled it out before he saw it

21 That's all between the river and me

22 I might have had a gun but I didn't fire it

23 He might have tried to yell but I kept him quiet

24 That's all between the river and me

25 That's all between the river and me

26 Sheriff came knocking on our front door

27 They said they found his body by the reservoir

28 Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood

29 He must have fallen in the river and he never came up

30 There might have been blood but they never saw it

31 Just a little mud on the living room carpet

32 That's all between the river and me

33 Well after what he done there ain't no wonder

34 I can't remember how long I held him under

35 That's all between the river and me

36 That's all between the river and me

37 That's all between the river and me

38 That's all

39 That's all
