[Verse 1]
Mmm, yeah
Yeah

School is out
Where to now?
I’m packing up, headed 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 that I understand
And I’m so proud to say
Made me who I am today

I hope down the road I'll find a real good man
Who's done half the things my daddy has
And it’s a beautiful thing
My sweet American dream
Yeah
[Verse 2]
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
Yeah

[Chorus]
I’m the daughter of a military man
It’s the way of life that I understand
And I’m so proud to say
Made me who I am today

I hope down the road I'll find a real good man
Who's done half the things my daddy has
And it’s a beautiful thing
My sweet American dream

[Bridge]
Ooh, yeah
Home is where you hang your hat
Yeah, that’s what mama says
And I’m fine with that
Yeah

[Chorus]
I’m the daughter of a military man
It’s the way of life that I understand
And I’m so proud to say
Made me who I am today

Hope some day I find a real good man
Who's done half the things my daddy has
And it’s a beautiful thing, oh
And it’s a beautiful thing

[Outro]
My sweet American dream
My sweet American dream
Ooh, Yeah
Oh, yeah
Mmm
