Verse 1

[G]I'm just trying to be a father. Raise a daughter and a son.
[D]Be a lover to their mother, and everything to everyone.
[C]Up and at 'em bright and early, I'm all business in my suit.
[D]Yeah I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots.
[G]I don't do it for the money, there's bills that I can't pay.
[D]I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway.
[C]Providing for our futures, my responsibility.
[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 too strong.
[D]I just work straight through the holidays, sometimes all night long.
[C]And you can bet 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 core.

Pre-Chorus

[G]And I will always do my duty 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.

Chorus

I'm an [G]American Soldier, I'm an American
Beside my [Em]brothers 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. [A]Sleep in peace tonight.
[C]American Soldier, [D] I'm an [G]American Soldier
