Keith, Toby - American Soldier Lyrics






I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone

Up and at 'em bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway

Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah, I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be

I can't call in sick on Mondays
When the weekend's been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
Sometimes all night long

You can bet that I stand ready
When the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey, I'm steady
Hey, I'm true down to the core

And I will always do my duty
No matter what the price
I've counted up the cost
I know the sacrifice

Oh, and I don't wanna die for you
But if dying's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

Yeah, an American Soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
So sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American, an American, an American soldier!

    c.... ....

    Shokkerz Iraq you lot destroyed. You had no business going there but good old Uncle Sam and the weapons manufactures need to keep that money flowing

    c.... ....

    @Proud Yankee American soldiers are the pawns of Saudi Arabia/Al Qadia in Syria and Yemen. American soldiers are t he biggest cucks around read the Afghan papers.

  56. C.... C....

    God bless those who fought for us!!!

    C.... C....

  57. N.... B....

    Thanks for setting free Europe on 6th of June 44
    #Belgian guy

    N.... B....

    Nicolas Bertrand thank the Russians and Britain for setting Europe free. Us Brits and the Russians stood alone until America finally entered the war, and even then us Brits had pushed the Germans out of North Africa and the Russians where making gains in the east by the time d day started

  58. D.... B....

  59. W.... W....

    I support our troops because I was one too but I can’t wait for the day that you get to write the song about them all coming home.

    Keith is nothing but a fat propagandist.

  60. W.... W....

    Yes sir

  61. G.... C....

    I’m 15 and getting to the age when I decide if I will join the army any advice. I have a lot of friends who a graduating this year and have committed to the army.

    G.... C....

    Try ROTC in school first, if still an option, then consider Air Force. Armies fly or float to the battle area.
    You can take college courses in any branch of the military.

  62. X.... G....

    I wish so bad to be an American soldier it I am 340 pounds 6 foot 3 there is no greater wish in my life than to serve my country hopefully one day I will be able that all I wish

  63. A.... P....

    dedicated to my grandpa who passed away in Normandy 1944...went out fighting and never gave up an inch for us to be free.

  64. m.... s....

    Oh, another Uncle volunteered for 5 tours in Nam.

  71. L.... C....

    Dad and Uncle retired Navy. I'm an Army Vet.

  72. S.... D....

    As a daughter of a strong mother who decided to joint the army to provide for her two young kids I actually hate this song because my mom was deployed in Iraq during the war and I always thought that my mom would come home in a flag covered casket as her friends did and I remember every time this song came on the radio I would always cry because this made me think of it more but I was so happy when my my mom came home safe and sound which is not true for a lot - too many - of the soldiers who have been shipped out the same way mom was but I just wanna say always keep in mind when the soldiers who have the ultimate sacrifice for this god forsaken county who honestly doesn’t deserve it. Please keep in mind the veterans who came home and were homeless because of the way we treated them just please be kind to one another.

  73. W.... D....

    I miss it...

    Ben Franklin said it best..... the reason that reasonable men can sleep in peace is that there are unreasonable men willing to do violence on his part

  79. g.... ....

    We are the wolf prowling at every door! Liberty has always been in jeopardy, from the same government who sends the men to get slaughtered for profit.

  80. W.... W....

    Hoo-ah, soldiers.

  81. t.... ....

    My Dad served in Germany during WWII, and got called back to go to Korea.....I followed in his footsteps as best as I could....

  82. R.... C....

    Americans are dying only for Petroleum, and they're proud of it ... I don't understand

  83. W.... T....

    My Lord>> This Song Brings Tears To My Eyes When I Hear This Song>>> From A Disabled Veteran!!!! God Bless This Country!!!! I Am A American Soldier>>> Amen!!!!

  84. D.... R....

    My husband passed recently and he was talking to our sons who served in the military and he made a comment that if we could get rid of the politicians and the politically correct people and let the soldiers do there jobs things we be a lot better. He was very bitter about when was in Vietnam and even worse how all the men and women who served there where treated when they came home. My sons say this song is about there father in a sense.

  89. N.... H....

    This song really hits me hard. It’s so beautiful, a great message, Toby describes the hard life of being a soldier. I’ll say it, due to medical issues I couldn’t serve our country, and it broke my heart. I come from a military family. But even being stuck as a civilian, and being a proud American, I’ll stand by our brothers and sisters. Those who fight to keep us safe. I’m no soldier, but I’ll support them any way I can, and pray that they all come home safe.

    If you think your family losing you , your kids growing up without you and you getting PTSD is worth fighting for billion dollar corporations getting richer at the expense and lives of Americans then become an American soldier

    Disabled vet
    Moms 4 uncles in WW2:
    2 at Normandy
    1 paratroop
    1 on Iwo mountain top, for the first flag
    Dad, Army: on alert, cuban missle crisis
    Me, Air force, European theater: alert, marine barracks bombing

    I'm a vet still bound by oath.
    Please don't thank me for my service:
    Average of 22 soldiers commit suicide a day.
    Thousands left homeless.
    Sub-standard VA care.

    Please, dont thank me for my service, my battle isnt done.
    It wont be done, until those numbers reach zero.
    It wont be done, until we no longer need "veterans choice" and other programs, just to survive.

    It isnt about being treated as special, its about being the same.
    Remember, we love you.
    My battle isnt over... yet!
