Lyrics
SAM HILL LAKE
Tommy Carter - Copyright 2004
I grew up on one end of six mile Greenbriar Road,
and on the other end, Sweet Charlotte was at
Sam Hill Lake.
Charlotte and I covered many a mile up and down the
dirt of Greenbriar Road. All of our good stuff and sometimes
bad stuff too
happened at Sam Hill Lake.
CHORUS
And in my heart there is always an ache.
Every time I visit Sam Hill Lake.
Verse 2
Nobody ever had a swimmin' suit. I remember Grandma
walking by that bank,
just as Charlotte said to me,Get a toe-holt, Tommy!
Now as folks still gather round picnic tablesat reunion times,
I sit across from Charlotte
as she gives me a smile and a wink. I take her hand and
I can see she's got five kids in tow.
I don't know!
Repeat Chorus
