American Soldier - Toby Keith

I’m just trying to be a father

Raise a daughter and a son

Be a lover to their mother

Everything to everyone

Up and at them bright and early

I’m all business in my suit

Yeah, I’m dressed for success

From my head down to my boots

I don’t do it for money there’s still bills that I can’t pay

I don’t do it for the glory, I just do it anyway

Providing for our future’s my responsibility

Yeah I’m real good under pressure, being all that I can be

And I can’t call in sick on Mondays

When the weekends been to strong

I just work straight through the holidays

And sometimes all night long

You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door

Hey, I’m solid, hey I’m steady, hey I’m true down to the core

And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price

I’ve counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice

Oh, and I don’t want to die for you

But if dying’s asked of me

I’ll bear that cross with honor

Cause freedom don’t come free

I’m an American soldier, an American

Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand

When liberty’s in jeopardy I will always do what’s right

I’m out here on the front lines, so sleep in peace tonight

American soldier, I’m an American

An American

An American Soldier
