American Soldier

Im 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

Im all business in my suit

Yeah Im dressed up for success

From my head down to my boots

I dont do it for the money

Theres bills that I cant pay

I dont do it for the glory

I just do it anyway

Providing for our futures my responsibility

Yeah Im real good under pressure

Being all that I can be

And I cant 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 Im solid hey Im steady hey Im true down to the core

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

Ive counted up the cost I know the sacrifice

Oh and I dont want to die for you

but if dyins asked of me

Ill bear that cross with honor

cause freedom dont come free

Im an American soldier an American

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

when libertys in jeopardy I will always do whats right

Im out here on the front lines

Sleep in peace tonight

American soldier Im an American soldier

Yeah an American soldier an American

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

when libertys in jeopardy I will always do whats right

Im out here on the front lines

So Sleep in peace tonight

American soldier Im an American
