American Soldier

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 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
 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
