Toby Keith - American Soldier
Im just tryin to be a father, raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother, everythin to everyone
Up and at em bright and early, Im all business in my suit
Yeah Im dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
I dont do it for money, theres bills that I cant pay
I dont do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
Providing for our futures, my responsibility
Yeah Im real good under pressure, being all that I can be
And I cant 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 Im solid, hey Im steady, hey Im true down to the core.
And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
Ive counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh and I dont want to die for you, but if dyins asked of me
Ill bear that cross with honor, cause freedom dont come free.
Im an American Soldier an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
When libertys in jeopardy, I will always do whats right
Im out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight
American Soldier, Im and American, Soldier.
An American Soldier an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters, I will proudly take a stand
When libertys in jeopardy, I will always do whats right
Im out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight
American Soldier, Im and American, an American, an American, Soldier.

Thanx Richard I LOVED it!!! It makes me think twice about complaining about....anything at all.
By the way did I mention my boy is coming home on May 31st.? I can hardly wait!!
And to all you American Soldiers out there,I am affectionately known as Momma Blue.~sending hugs~with Love.
You stirred up many an emotion with this one. Pride, fear, patriotism, sadness, ohhhhhhhhh, the list goes on! I don't know what else to say because I'm a bit choked up, but I guess maybe this silence is the expression of/in my comment.
TY Momma Blue
It's still the local neighborhood children going off to war. It has to be personal, because the local neighborhood is America. The people on that far off hill don't know what we are about, that is until we get our torches..................
