Lyrics
Sittin' by the river On a Georgia night
Me and my gal Just had a little fight
I'm skippin' stones Off an old pine log
Plunkin' the water While the bull frogs call
She rolls up her denim just one more time
She looks at me While she casts her line
The gal doesn't know it But this boy's been hooked
I promise my heart With just one look
We're gonna sip a little love
In the sweet moonshine
Holdin' one another
While we stop time
I'm her starlight
And she is mine
Just a girl and a boy
In the sweet moonshine
Fireflies floatin' In a sky so blue
Nowhere like the river To find whats true
Our roads been rocky And our roads been rough
But loving one another Has never been tough
We've been tested And we've been tried
We've done our best Keepin' out the lies
Comin' to the river In the Georgia woods
Brings us together Like country lovers should
We're gonna sip a little love
In the sweet moonshine
Holdin' one another
While we stop time
I'm her starlight
And she is mine
Just a girl and a boy
In the sweet moonshine
