American Soldier Lyrics

(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)

I�m just tryin� to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother, everythin� 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 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 and American, Soldier.

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, an American, an American, Soldier.
