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 on business in my suit
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
Is my responsibility
I'm real good on the 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
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 dyins asking me
I'll bear that cross with honor
Cause freedom don't come free
~Chorus:
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 line
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier
I'm an American
Repeat Chorus
