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,
And, 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 line,
So sleep in peace tonight.
American soldier, I'm an American.
An American. An American soldier.
