American Soldier Lyrics - Shock'n Y'all - Toby Keith

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 for success 

From my head down to my boots 

I don't do it for 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 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 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 lines 

So sleep in peace tonight 

American soldier 

I'm an American 

An American 

An American soldier
