Well Tom's got sharp pain all over his face When he wakes up in the morning, his mom's going to tell him he's a f**ing disgrace But I love him because he's Tom [Chorus] Dwyer's in the Navy now And it won't be years before he gets out He wouldn't change for anyone And that's why I'm afraid he'll forget his gun Well Tom, I don't want to listen to your music when we're driving in your car It's not that I don't trust your judgement, it's just that the drive is just a little too far And I love you because you're Tom
[Chorus] Dwyer's in the Navy now And it won't be years until he gets out He wouldn't change for anyone And that's why I'm afraid he'll forget his gun Stand up straight Get in line Wipe that smile off your face, boy, you're doing time But I still love you, 'cause you're still Tom [Chorus] Dwyer's in the Navy now And it won't be years before he gets out He wouldn't change for anyone And that's why I'm afraid he'll forget his gun Don't forget your gun! Dwyer no, don't forget your gun
