[Verse]
Boots on the ground dust in the air
Badge on his chest don’t you dare
Walks like thunder steel in his hands
She’s caught staring at her American man
[Chorus]
Oh American man strong and free
Fighting the fight loving the sea
The stars in his eyes rifle in hand
She’s losing herself to her American man
[Verse 2]
Sharp like the edge of a whispering knife
Serving his country carving a life
Her heart pounding like a battle drum
She’s counting the days 'til he comes home
[Chorus]
Oh American man strong and free
Fighting the fight loving the sea
The stars in his eyes rifle in hand
She’s losing herself to her American man
[Verse 3]
Letters he sends smell of the dirt
Pride in his words but God does it hurt
He’s miles away but she feels his flame
Dreams of the night he’ll call her name
[Bridge]
Bang of the drum crash of the sky
Through smoky fields she sees his smile
Fate on the shoulders of this warrior’s plan
She stands there waiting for her American man
