Chris Janson - You, Me & The River

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 hеadlights
And saw your silhouettes through candlelight
And I wеnt to the shed to get my shovel

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
