American Soldier Lyrics

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 in my business 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 sacrafice,
Oh, and I don't want to die for you,
But if
dyin's asked of me,
I'll bear that cross with an 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,
An American,
An American
