Military Man

School is out, where to now?
I'm packing up, heading south
One last box, one last look around

I remember being so excited
Brand new friends that were so inviting
That's the way it's been since I was young

And I love nothing more
Than seeing my daddy in his uniform

I'm the daughter of a military man
It's the way of life and I understand
And I'm so proud to say
Made me who I am today

I hope down the road I find a real good man
That's done half the things that my daddy has
And it's a beautiful thing
My sweet American dream, yeah

We laid on our back looking up at the sky
Watching F-15's scream on by
While me and my brother and sister would play outside

Shopping at the commissary
Dancing at the military ball
Yeah, we did it all

At 5 o'clock when the anthem plays
You could hear a pin drop on that whole base

I'm the daughter of a military man
It's the way of life and I understand
And I'm so proud to say
Made me who I am today

I hope down the road I find a real good man
That's done half the things that my daddy has
And it's a beautiful thing
My sweet American dream, ooh, yeah

Home is where you hang your hat
Yeah, that's what mama says and I'm fine with that

I'm the daughter of a military man
It's the way of life and I understand
And I'm so proud to say
Made me who I am today

I hope some day I find a real good man
That's done half the things that my daddy has
And it's a beautiful thing, oh
Oh, it's a beautiful thing

My sweet American dream
My sweet American dream
