Lyrics:
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 [Instrumental bridge] 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
