Safe 'n Sound in Watertown
There's a patriotic city up in northern New York State
all decked in yellow ribbons, while the flag forever waves
honoring the champions from Fort Drum army base...
She hugs her sleepy kids and kneels beside the bed to pray
God bless the daddy, gone to war, so many miles away
Her darling stands on guard, so she knows everything's all right
... safe 'n sound in Watertown tonight
A solider serving overseas, fights for liberty and peace... for all humanity
A solder makes the sacrifice... freedom always has a price
And a solider gives the gift of paradise
... all safe 'n sound in Watertown
He stays up late again and prays for "daddy's little girl"
God bless the daughter, gone to war, halfway across the world
His angel stands on guard, so he knows everything's all right
... safe 'n sound in Watertown tonight
A solider serving overseas, fights for liberty and peace... for all humanity
A solder makes the sacrifice... freedom always has a price
And a solider gives the gift of paradise
... all safe 'n sound in Watertown
And we thank God for you, Fort Drum
We're safe 'n sound in Watertown
Oh, we thank God for you, Fort Drum
We're safe 'n sound in Watertown
