[G]I'm just trying to be a father. Raise a daughter and a son.
[D]Be a lover to thier mother, and everything to everyone.
[C]Up and at em bright and early, I'm all buisness in my suit.
[D]Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots.

[D]Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be.

[G]I can't call in sick on monday when the weekend's been to strong.
[D]I just work straight through the hollidays, sometimes all night long.
[C]And you can be that I stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door.
[D]Hey I'm solid. Hey I'm steady. Hey I'm true down to the oore.

Pre Chorus:
[G]And I will always do my duties no matter what the price.
[D]I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice.
[C]Oh and I don't want to die for you, but if dying's asked of me.
[D]I'll bear that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free.

I'm an Ame[G]rican Soldier, I'm an American
Beside my br[Em]others and my sisters I will proudly take a stand.
[C]When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right.
I'm [G]out here on the front line. Sl[A]eep in peace tonight.
