I'm just trying to be a Christian,
Be a witness to friend and foe,
Be a
good son to my mother,
A good solider for the
Lord
Up
and at 'em bright and early,
I'm all in my
Army best,
Yeah, I'm dressed for success
from my head down to my boots,
I
don't do it for money, there's still bills
coming my way,
I don't do it for the glory, I
just do it anyway,
Providing for my future's
God gave me the responsibility,
Yeah I'm real good under
pressure, being all that I can be,
I can't call in sick on Mondays when the
weekends been comin' too strong,
Or when work
calls on the holidays,
And even 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,
Be sure I don't wanna' 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 sisters I will proudly stand,
When liberty's in jeopardy I will
always do what's right,
I'm out here on the
front lines, so you can sleep in peace tonight.
I'm an American
soldier, an American,
A Christian tried and
true
Doin' this job for Jesus, America and You
(Adapted from the
song by Toby Keith)
