Verse 1
Your [G]mamma used to worry 'bout that big muddy river
[F]Honey, [C]do you [D]remember?
You let the [G]screen door slam when you stepped off the front porch
[G]You heard your mamma callin' don't be late
[F]I'd hear your daddy holler, [C]"Son, she's my only [G]daughter"
You'd stick your [F]nose in the honeysuckle down by the gate

Chorus
We [G]fell right [F]in way [C]over our [F]heads

It [C]wasn't a lie, we didn't go near the [G]water
