You got that right. An old girlfriend of mine would play the guitar and sing that song for me. Her father had been an Army officer who moved around a lot and didn't have much time for her. He died suddenly from a heart attack when she was a teenager. She identified with that song to the point where it became her personal anthem. I met her while she was going through German language training to become an interpreter while I was taking French at the military's Defense Language Institute. She was, along with several dozen other women, on her way to becoming the next "Pvt. Benjamin!" How ironic.
