American Soldier

In the style of

Toby Keith

Lyrics

i'm just tryin' 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
bein' all that i can be

and i can't
call in sick
on mondays
when the weekend's
been too strong

i just work
straight through
the holidays
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
hey no matter
what the price
i've counted up
the cost
i know the sacrifice

oh and i don't wanna
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 line
so sleep in peace
tonight

american soldier
i'm an american
an american
an american soldier
