Toby Keith - American Soldier lyrics

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 th 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 Mondays when the weekend's 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 wanna die for you, but if dying's asking 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 and American soldier

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

An American, an American soldier
