American Soldier
Toby Keith
Written By: Toby Keith and Chuck Cannon
A
I'm just trying to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
E Esus E
Be a lover to their mother, everything to everyone
D
Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit
Esus E Esus E
Yea I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
A
I donÕt do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay
E Esus E
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
D
Providing for our future's, my responsibility
Esus E Esus E
Yea I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be
A
And I can't call in sick on Mondays, when the weekends been too strong
E Esus 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
Esus E Esus 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 Esus E
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
D
Oh, and I donÕt want to die for you, but if dyin's asked of me
Esus E Esus E
I'll bear that cross with honor, cause freedom donÕt come free
CHORUS:
A
I'm an American soldier, and 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
D E A
American soldier, I'm an American soldier
F#m | D | E
