Pier Twelve Memories

I have memories of pier twelve Right at the Norfolk Naval Base Those memories I’ll never shelve McDonald’s’ there to feed my face I stood some sentry watches there As my sister was in port too During winter there is cold air Without ID you won’t come through I’ll never forget last time there With my walker saw the Nimitz And with a shipmate things to share Today my life has some limits Can’t run like I did back then I drank and smoked much more too Back then the ship was all men Some say co-ed ships are true
