American Soldier: Toby Keith
I’m just trying to be a father,
Raise a son and a daughter.
Be a lover to their mother,
Everything to everyone.
Up and at’em bright and early,
I’m all in my business suit.
Yeah, I’m dressed 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 future’s,
My responsibility.
Yeah, I’m real good under pressure,
Bein’ all that I can be.
An’ I can’t call in sick on Mondays,
When the weekends been to long.
I just work straight through the holidays,
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,
An’ 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.
Besides 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.
