TRACE ADKINS LYRICS - American Man

"American Man"



He keeps a spit cup wedged 'tween the dash and the windshield

Wore out spot where his hand lays on the wheel

Fourteen years of back and forth

Of work and Church and honey do's



He's a hardhat, hammer swiggin', won't hear him whine

Kick some butt, wrap it up, crack a beer, high five

God fearing son of pride and strength

That's exactly what he's turned into



He'll fight tooth and nail for his family

Give the shirt right off his back for a friend in need



So let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked

Any praise for a job well done

All the blood, sweat and tears, standing tall, no fear

He's the backbone of this land

It's long overdue, here's to the American man

The American man



Flies the stars and stripes on a pole in the front yard

Picture of his wife and kids as a bookmark

To keep his place inside the Good Book

The words he believes and lives by



He's gonna make mistakes like anyone

But he's gonna make it right 'fore the day is done



So let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked

Any praise for a job well done

All the blood, sweat and tears, standing tall, no fear

He's the backbone of this land

It's long overdue, here's to the American man



So let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked

Any praise, he just gave

All the blood, sweat and tears, he stood tall with no fear



Let's all raise a glass to the guy who never asked

Any praise for a job well done

All the blood, sweat and tears, standing tall, no fear

He's the backbone of this land

It's long overdue, this song's for you, the American man

The American man



This one's for you to host, the American man

American man, it's me, the American man, that's right
