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 yea, I'm dressed up for success from my head down to my boots	I don't do it for the money there are bill that I can't pay I don't do it for the glory I just do it anyway Providing for our futures my responsibility yea I'm real good under pressure being all that I can be
I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekends 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 my stand when liberty's in jeopardy I'll always do what's right I'm out here on the front lines sleep in peace tonight American soldier, I'm an American soldier	Yea, 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
