And the nights got hotter and hotter
As you sneaked up the back stairs
'Cause we were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
She should've worried about me
And had to get the honeysuckle out of your hair
Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
It wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the water
But we didn't go near the water
But in the morning light
You let the screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch

Didn't go near the water
Well nothing beats so young and sweet
Mama waiting like a grizzly bear
And I'd hear your daddy holler, "Son she's my only daughter"
Didn't go near the water, yeah

But we didn't go near the water
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
We'd hear the rocking chair squeaking
You'd look her right in the eye
I can still hear your mama calling, "Don't go near the water"
Honey do your remember?
We fell right in, went over our head
Your mama used to worry about that big muddy river
But we didn't go near the water
And nothing beats so young and sweet
We fell right in, went over our head
Then your mama calling don't be late
We were sure enough getting our feet wet mama
And the nights got hotter and hotter
But we didn't go near the water
But we didn't go near the water
You'd stick your nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate
