School is out, where to now?
I'm packing up, heading south
One last box, one last look aroundI remember being so excited
Brand new friends that were so inviting
That's the way it's been since I was youngAnd I love nothing more
Than seeing my daddy in his uniformI'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 todayI 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 outsideShopping at the commissary
Dancing at the military ball
Yeah, we did it allAt 5 o'clock when the anthem plays
You could hear a pin drop on that whole baseI'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 todayI 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 thatI'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 todayI 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 thingMy sweet American dream
My sweet American dream
