I set out from that old Black River bluff around an early age
I never did like it there so much, so when the hour finally came
I went out there and enlisted in that old Navy Parade
(Counter Chorus: I donât wanna end up in Poplar Bluff, donât make me
Leave this navy parade)
Well, I found myself in the Pacific Ocean waves among a chosen few
But I fell asleep on watch one night and thatâs the worst thing that you can do
And when I woke up, there was a flashlight shining right there in my face
(Counter Chorus: repeat)
Hereâs what that voice called out to me:
âLord knows, you tried to fake it
But youâre better off taking any step
That leads you further from the way youâll never be
Beyond this mess, thereâs something left
And itâs still within your reach
So if you get there before I get there
You better save something for me.â
(Counter Chorus: repeat)
Da Da Daâ¦
(Oh the toil and strife, the fire and flame, Iâm going down in a similar way
But Iâll be counting every step that Iâm taking from this Navy Parade)
