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

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

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

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, ohhh

Oh it's a beautiful thing, my sweet american dream

My sweet american dream
