Years have passed as you watch me grow
You have tried to teach me everything you know
I know their have been times you have watched the clock
And start to worry if I wasn’t home on the dot
Now that I am grown and I am on my own
I have taken your words and carved them in stone
I know your love will be with me for my entire life
And be proud for what I am about to do is right
So don’t shed any sad tear for me today
For I am going join a team of the U. S.A.
