 She was just a year ahead of me

 But that meant so much back then, you see

 When the high school boys caught wind of me

 They threw me in the mud

(Verse 2)

And I fought my way to the car that night

And I cursed the water, and I cursed the light

But I learned to swim, and I learned to fight

For the things that mean the most

And oh,

 Sweet Samantha dear, I know it's been so many years

 And I hope that they have been kind, my friend

 9Oh, I think about you now and then

 When the sun is sinking low

 Over the docks by the shore

 Where I laid up in green fields with you

 Singing only the songs that we knew

 Singing only the songs that we knew

 Singing only the songs that we knew
