I'm just tryin' to be a father, raise a daughter and a son 
     E 
Be a lover to their mother, everythin' to everyone 
       D 
Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit 
         E 
Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots 
        A 
I don't do it for money, there's bills I that I can't pay 
        E 
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway 
   D 
Providing for our future's, my responsibility 
         E 
Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be 
            A 
And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong 
       E 
I just work straight through the holidays, and sometimes all night long 
        D 
You can bet that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door 
        E 
Hey I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core. 
 
           A 
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price 
     E 
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice 
       D 
Oh and I don't want to die for you, but if dyin's asked of me 
     E 
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
