Lyrics:

[Verse 1:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Verse 2:]
Laying 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

As I look up when the anthem plays
You could hear a pin drop
On that whole base
Yeah

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
Home is where you hang your hat
That’s what mama says
And I’m fine with that

[Repeat Chorus:]
