You, Me & The River (with Eric Church)

If it wasn't so dark out here tonight

I know I'd be a hell of a sight

Covered in Arkansas clay from head to toe

If I told you once, I told you twice

You better not touch my Clementine

But you didn't listen, now you're fillin' up this hole

Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy

In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her

So tonight I lay me down to sleep

And pray my soul and my secret to keep

Between you, me and the river

It's been a long week working overtime

That's why I got home early tonight

And when I saw your car, I could smell the trouble

So I turned off my headlights

And saw your silhouettes through candlelight

And I went to the shed to get my shovel

Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy

In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her

So tonight I lay me down to sleep

And pray my soul and my secret to keep

Between you, me and the river

Yeah, oh, oh-oh-oh

They're gonna come knockin', it's a matter of time

The last goodbye, my alibi

And where Clementine ran off to, they'll wonder

I won't tell 'em she's cheatin' on me

But I'll smile at the memory

Of my diamond on her hand as she went under

Hey buddy, hey buddy, ain't that Mississippi muddy

In this town, well, yeah, she takes what you give her

So tonight I lay me down to sleep

And pray my soul and my secret to keep

Between you, me and the river

Between you, me and the river
