 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
