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
