[Verse 1]
Am I was fifteen when my daddy died Am Momma worked two jobs just to get by Am Seemed like a blessing when Harley came around Am Em Am So she took his name but I had my doubts Am Didn't take long for his drinking ways Am To start showing up on momma's face Am One violent night hiding under my bed Am Em Am I swore that he wouldn't see another sunset F C G Next day I followed him down to the riverbank F C E I knew one of us wouldn't walk away
[Chorus]
Am I mighta had a plan but he didn't know it Am I mighta been scared but I didn't show it C G Am That's all between the river and me Am With the current and the rocks, it could have been risky Am He mighta been sober but I brought the whiskey C G Am That's all between the river and me
[Interlude]
C
[Verse 2]
Am I walked up to him and I said his name Am Just so he could see the look on my face Am We stood eye to eye and toe to toe Am Em Am When I told him that he wasn't gonna come back home F C G He raised his fist to me but I didn't flinch F C E I said, ”I ain't your son you son of a bitch”
[Chorus]
Am I mighta had a knife in my back pocket Am I mighta pulled it out before he saw it C G Am That's all between the river and me Am I mighta had a gun but I didn't fire it Am He mighta tried to yell but I kept him quiet C G Am That's all between the river and me
That's all between the river and me
[Instrumental Interlude]
A E Am Em Am
[Bridge]
Am Sheriff came knocking on our front door Am They said they found his body by the reservoir Am Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood Am Em Am He must have fallen in the river and he never came up
[Chorus]
Am There mighta been blood but they never saw it Am Just a little mud on the living room carpet C G Am That's all between the river and me Am Well, after what he done, there ain't no wonder Am I can't remember how long I held him under C G Am That's all between the river and me
[Outro]
C G Am That's all between the river and me C G Am That's all between the river and me C G E Em Am That's all, that's all
