Veteran's Day

An American Soldier


(Toby Keith/Chuck Cannon)



I’m just tryin’ to be a father, raise a daughter and a son.

Be a lover to their mother, everythin’ to everyone.
Up and at ‘em bright and early, I’m all business in my suit.

Yeah I’m dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots.

I don’t do it for money, there’s bills I 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 weekend’s 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 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 and American, Soldier.

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 and American,

an American, an American, Soldier.
