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 money, there's still 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 weekends been to 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 sacrafice,
|
Oh, and I don't want to die for you,
|
But if dyin's asked of me,
|
I'll bear that cross with an 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 an American,
|
An American,
|
An American Soldier
