Love, tonight well i've decided this might change our life
but before i start it just breaks my heart on my very last night
wow i love your eyes and your smile my you just look so nice
yeah back to what i was trying to say ill be shipping out to some foreign place
I joined the navy
Today i feel like i can fly
tomorrow battle eye for eye
and when everything goes
cause everything goes
I pray the day i take your hand and tell your face i do, i'm still here with you
please believe
Father send me out to sea i'm doing time for my country
im not living the life that i want to lead
we go out not all come back
well that gave mother a heart attack
no we cant do that
stay between the miles
the time it takes to fight
this life disguised we learned we'll fall we might
there's pride and lives on lines while bullets fly
