Lyrics
You were young, I was scared
There was not much we could do
When momma left daddy cause he got drunk and hit her
Right in front of me and you
He blamed it on a four day bender in Tunica
When he drew a face card on the flop
He kept the queens, put his faith on fifth street
Bet blind then lost the pot
We lived in separate houses
Divided by the river
They called us half bloods
But we were whole in our eyes
I'd meet you on your side of the middle
On your darkest of nights
Just to prove that time ain't left no space
Between your heart and mine
Well two months passed and momma came back
With papers and a plan to move
Said she wasn't gonna leave this time
Until she left with you
And there I stood in the carport crying
Confused by all of it
Watching y'alls taillights fade towards Dallas
Convinced that I caused all this
We lived in separate houses
Divided by the river
They called us half blood
But we were whole in our eyes
I'd meet you on your side of the middle
On your darkest of nights
Just to prove that time ain't left no space
Between your heart and mine
Daddy spiraled when momma got a ring
From a man who told her to forget me
I guess you caused him problems
Cause she cut you loose at 17
We let the house go into auction
We left all we knew behind
And found some folks that shared the same blood
That flows within your heart and mine
We lived in separate houses
Divided by the river
They called us half blood
But we were whole in our eyes
I'd meet you on your side of the middle
On your darkest of nights
Just to prove that time ain't left no space
Between your heart and mine
Just to prove that time ain't left no space
Between your heart and mine
