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
          F#m
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
     D
When liberty?s in jeopardy, I will always do what?s right

    A                            B
I?m out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight

American Soldier, I?m and American, Soldier.
