"Brock can you come over I have something to tell you?" Reba asked as she hung up the reciever. "Now why would she want to talk to me?" "This is a first." Brock pulled on his cowboy boots and took off down the street.

"Brock I'm glad your here get in here." Reba said. "first I would like to do this." Reba kissed Brock and he was surprised. "Why did you do that?" Brock asked when he pulled away.

"I have a secret I must tell you." Reba said. "What is it and if you plan on hurting Barbra Jean, no!" Brock yelled. "No, this secret was once between the river and me.

I was 15 when my daddy died, mama worked 2 jobs just to get by Seemed like a blessin' when Harley came around, so she took his name but I had my doubts.
Didn't take long for his drinkin' ways to start showin up on mama's face One violent night hidin' under my bed swore that he wouldn't see another sunset. The next day I followed him down to the river bank I knew one of us, wouldn't walk away.

I might of had a plan but he didn't know it I might I'd been scared but I didn't show it That's all between the river and me With the current and the rocks, coulda been risty Might of been sober but I brought the whiskey But Thats 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 girl, you son-of-a-bitch!"

I might of had a knife in my back pocket,
might of pulled it out before he saw it Thats all between the river and me I might of had a gun but I didn't fire it, He might of tried to yell but I kept him quiet Thats all between the river and me Thats all between the river and me

Sheriff came a knockin' at my front door, said they found his body by the reservoir "Bottle in his shirt and liquor in his blood, must of fallen in the river and he never came up."

Might of been blood but they never saw it, just a little mud on the living room carpet Thats all between the river and me Well, after what he done Lord, there ain't no wonder, can't remember how long I held him under Thats all between the river and me Thats all between the river and me Yea, Thats all between the river and me Thats all, Thats all.

Reba turned to face Brock who looked at her and then CLUNK! He was on the floor passed out. "Well this a good start." Reba said trying to figure out a way to revive Brock.
