Being all that I can be
When the weekends been too strong
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 don't do it for the glory
There's bills that I can't pay
And sometimes all night long
American soldier, I'm an American

I just work straight through the holidays
I'm all business in my suit

Everything to everyone
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
And I can't call in sick on Mondays
I'm an American soldier, an American
I'm out here on the front line
So Sleep in peace tonight
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When Liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

I'll bear that cross with honor
When Liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I just do it anyway

'Cause freedom don't come free

I don't do it for the money
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
Be a lover to their mother
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots
Up and at 'em, bright and early
Sleep in peace tonight
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah, an American soldier, an American
I'm out here on the front line
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Yeah I'm real good under pressure
An American, an American soldier
