Lyrics

It took me a while to realize it was good you went away
I've discovered something new about myself every day
I remember my first day of high school
I looked for you, but you weren't there
So I went inside all by myself
And guess what?
I didn't care
It took me a while to realize that I could hold down the fort
A man can't get too far in this world
Leaning on his sister for support
One time when I came home, Dad was mad 'cause I ran from a fight
He yelled at me to be a man, and next time
Boy, I stayed
Since that day, I've never been afraid
I've thought about our deal and if I'd ever get away
And now, I'm finally ready
I know you won't believe me, but I'll miss you every day
When I'm gone
It took me a while to realize what it was I wanted to be
Dad says he thinks I'd make a good soldier
And in two months, I'll finally make him proud of me
I'm gonna join the navy
Gonna join the navy
Gonna fly a jet
Gonna fly a jet
I haven't really talked about it yet
Why hasn't he told anyone?
I guess that means that you're the first to know
Love always
Love always
