i'm going to enter the navy

I'm going to enter the navy
i came out one day and said
going to be a pilot
going to fly a plane

mother didn't like it
said i didn't' need it
dad said to do it
be all i could be

so i started running
stuck to my guns
fought so hard
through the endless pain

so one day it came
that long awaited day
nervous as ever
sick to my stomach

took my AZVAB
tried so hard
my head was pounding
stomach churning

time to take a rest
go to the hotel
enjoy my day
it will be the last time

met the army
met the navy
met the air force
met the marines

WAKE UP CALL!
get out of bed
3:00 in the morning
only 3 hours of sleep

time for MEPS
let's get this done
sick yet again
but i cant show it

fought my way through it
nervous as heck
when at last the words came
congratulations.... your in the navy

i did it
finally after years
honored my grandfathers death
made my dad proud

I'm going to serve my country
I'm going to fight for freedom
going to make my parents proud
going to love with all my heart

as my girlfriend cries
i tell her I'll be fine
I'll see her in three months
it will pass as quick as ever

going to be a fire fighter
save those who cant
going to be a air rescue
dive into the watery depths

want to be a paramedic
still want to fly that plane
guess I'll have to settle
for a desk job on the ship

until the siren sounds
and on with my fire gear
up to the decks
to take that fire out
