| 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 them bright and early
|
| I’m all business in my 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 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 will always do what’s right
|
| I’m out here on the front lines, so sleep in peace tonight
|
| American soldier, I’m an American
|
| An American
|
| An American Soldier |
