American soldier
Toby Keith Lyrics

I'm just trying to be a father
I am dedicated to being a good father to my kids.

Raise a daughter and a son
I am committed to raising a daughter and a son.

Be a lover to their mother
I show love and affection to my partner and their mother.

Everything to everyone
I have a lot of responsibilities and try to fulfill them all.

Up and at 'em bright and early
I start my day early to get things done.

I'm all business in my suit
I take my work and responsibilities seriously.

Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
I dress appropriately for work to show respect for my job and colleagues.

From my head down to my boots
I am dressed professionally and completely for work.

I don't do it for the money
My motivation is not just financial gain.

There's bills that I can't pay
Despite my responsibilities, I still struggle to make ends meet.

I don't do it for the glory
I am not motivated by fame or recognition for my actions.

I just do it anyway
I do what is necessary regardless of recognition.

Providing for our future's my responsibility
It is my duty to provide for my family and secure their future.

Yeah, I'm real good under pressure
I am able to handle stress and pressure well.

Being all that I can be
I am striving to be the best version of myself.

And I can't call in sick on Mondays
I can't take a break from my responsibilities when I am tired or stressed.

When the weekends been too strong
Even when I want to relax on weekends, I keep working.

I just work straight through the holidays
I do not take holidays off and work tirelessly throughout the year.

And sometimes all night long
I will work long hours into the night to complete my responsibilities.

You can bet that I stand ready
I am prepared to handle whatever challenges come my way.

When the wolf growls at the door
When danger or difficulty arises, I will face it head-on.

Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady
I am dependable and reliable.

Hey I'm true down to the core
I have a deep commitment to my values and beliefs.

And I will always do my duty
I am committed to fulfilling my responsibilities.

No matter what the price
Regardless of the difficulty or cost, I will do what is necessary.

I've counted up the cost
I have considered and weighed the risks and consequences of my actions.

I know the sacrifice
I understand the sacrifices that may be necessary to fulfill my duties.

Oh, and I don't want to die for you
I do not seek death or danger, but I am willing to face it if needed.

But if dyin's asked of me
If my duty requires me to put my life at risk, I will do so.

I'll bear that cross with honor
I will accept the burdens and challenges of my duty with dignity and pride.

'Cause freedom don't come free
I understand and appreciate the value of freedom and the sacrifices required to protect it.

I'm an American soldier, an American
I am a soldier and proud American.

Beside my brothers and my sisters
I stand in solidarity with my fellow soldiers.

I will proudly take a stand
I am not afraid to fight for what I believe in.

When liberty's in jeopardy
When our freedom and liberty are threatened, I will act to protect them.

I will always do what's right
I am committed to acting with honor and integrity.

I'm out here on the front lines
I am stationed and fighting on the front lines of conflict.

So sleep in peace tonight
Because of my actions, you can rest easy and safely tonight.

American soldier, I'm an American soldier
I am a soldier fighting for America.

yeah, an American soldier, an American
Yes, I am truly an American soldier.

an American soldier
I am a proud American soldier.
