Let's hear it for the one and only Toby Keith! I'm just trying to be a father, raise a daughter and a son, be a lover to their mother, everything you ever want, a fan that'll brighten early, more bills to send my suit, me I'm dressed up for success, my cover to my combat boots, I don't do it for the money, I got bills that I can't pay, I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway, providing for our future, my responsibility, I'm damn good under pressure, being all that I can be, I can't call in sick on Mondays when my weekend's been too strong, hell I work straight through my holidays, sometimes all night long, you can bet that I'll stand ready, when the wolf growls at the door, cause I'm solid, and I'm steady, and I'm true down to my core, I will always do my duty, no matter what the price, I've counted up the cost, and I know the sacrifice, people I don't want to die for you, but if I am destined, I'll bear that cross with honor, freedom don't come free, I'm an American soldier, American, inside my brothers and my sister, I will proudly take a stand, when liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right, man I'm out here on your front line, people, sleep in peace tonight, American soldier, I'm an American soldier, inside my brothers and my sister, I will proudly take a stand, when liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right, hey, I'm out here on your front line, people, sleep in peace tonight, American soldier, I salute you and thank you for your service,
