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 futures, |
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 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 want to die for you, |
But if dying’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’ll 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’ll always do what’s right, |
I’m out here on the front lines, |
So sleep in peace tonight. |
|
American Soldier, |
I’m an American, |
American, |
American Soldier. |
