Toby Keith - American Soldier lyrics

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 them 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 sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But, if dying'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
So sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American
An American an American Soldier
