AMERICAN SOLDIER

(This morning the hubby and I had to be in Louisville for a closing so I am late with my post). 

AMERICAN SOLDIER

Performed By: Toby Keith
Written By: Toby Keith and Chuck Cannon
From the Album: Shock'n Y'all

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.

And I can't call in sick on Mondays,
When the weekends been too strong.

I just work straight through the holidays.

And 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 want to die for you.
But if dyin'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 line,

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 line,

So Sleep in peace tonight.

American soldier, I'm an American

An American,
an American soldier.

With Veteran's Day Tomorrow, I thought I would dedicate this post to ALL the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for us everyday and for the ones who have given their lives in the line of duty serving our country. I am so very Proud to know All the men in these pictures and I Do indeed sleep with peace knowing that they are willing to give their all for this wonderful country in which we live. 
I wanted to add some pictures that I remember seeing when I was a kid of my Great-Uncles and my Grandfather, but I have been so sick this past week that I haven't had a chance to ask my Aunts if they have copies of the pictures. Maybe I will be able to use them in a future post.
