45 years ago grandpa took a drive
He bought it on a whim
A fun place to take the kids
And they could learn to swim
He got home and told grandma
I bought a cabin today
Don't be upset
It'll be our little get away
CHORUS
There's a lake
Where my troubles float away
Where my grandfather says hey
Come and see us
There's a lake
Where we pack a cooler at noon
And head out on the pontoon
To spend the afternoon
There's a lake
Running up the stairs
Dodging chairs
Racing my cousins up to the loft
23 or 24 mattresses covered the floor
No matter where I fell
It was sure to be soft
Every July
Fireworks lit up the sky
Better hold that sparkler away from your eye
CHORUS
Second and third generations
Fourth of July celebrations
Babies growing up
Learning how to jump
Off grandpa's boat
Playing King of the Raft
After doing grandma's craft
She always knew
To have something for us to do
Late night card games
Grandpa talking bout his days in the. Navy
Finally falling fast asleep after a long day in the sun
Waking up to grandma's biscuits and gravy
CHORUS
I know this lake will always be
A very big part of me
Where I go to search my soul
And find family
Looking out across the water
Passed the cattail grove
I know the ones we've loved and lost are waiting in the cove
They'll be waiting in the cove
