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
