NAVY VETERAN
When I was young, many years ago
I joined the Navy. Why, I don"t know
I served my time, with honor, and pride
For this young boy, it was quite a ride
I went to places I never dreamed Time went fast, so it seemed
I met people I'll never forget
And some, I wish I'd never met
But as I think back on those days gone by
My ship, my shipmates, brings a tear to my eye
I didn't know it then, never gave it a thought
But my time in the Navy, could not have been bought
I guess we all feel the same after we're out
The pride we feel, that's what it's about
Having served our nation, keeping it free
Protecting our way of life, and our liberty
And the friends I made along the way
Would I do it again? Any day
And to all my shipmates, ANCHORS AWEIGH
