Any praise, he just gave
He's the backbone of this land

He's a hardhat, hammer swiggin', won't hear him whine
The words he believes and lives by
The American man
Any praise for a job well done
All the blood, sweat and tears, standing tall, no fear
To keep his place inside the Good Book
God fearing son of pride and strength
Flies the stars and stripes on a pole in the front yard
It's long overdue, this song's for you, the American man

All the blood, sweat and tears, he stood tall with no fear
Any praise for a job well done
Kick some butt, wrap it up, crack a beer, high five
It's long overdue, here's to the American man
All the blood, sweat and tears, standing tall, no fear

Picture of his wife and kids as a bookmark
The American man
This one's for you to host, the American man
Let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked
So let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked
So let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked
So let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked
American man, it's me, the American man, that's right

He's the backbone of this land

Any praise for a job well done
All the blood, sweat and tears, standing tall, no fear
Fourteen years of back and forth
He's gonna make mistakes like anyone
That's exactly what he's turned into
It's long overdue, here's to the American man
Give the shirt right off his back for a friend in need

He's the backbone of this land
He'll fight tooth and nail for his family
Of work and Church and honey do's

But he's gonna make it right 'fore the day is done
