American Soldier

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 ’em bright and early
I’m all business in my suit
Yeah, I’m dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don’t do it for the money
There’s 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 too 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 dyin’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
sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I’m an American soldier

yeah, 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…

I’m just trying to be a father. Raise a daughter and a son.

Be a lover to their mother, and everything to everyone.

Up and at ’em bright and early, I’m all business in my suit.

Yeah I’m dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots.

I don’t do it for the money, there’s bills that I can’t pay.

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

Providing for our futures, my responsibility.

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

I can’t call in sick on Monday when the weekend’s been too strong.

I just work straight through the holidays, sometimes all night long.

And 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, I’m 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 line. Sleep in peace tonight.

American Soldier, I’m an American Soldier
