He keeps a spit cup wedge 'tween the dash and windshield Wore out spot where his hand lays on the Wheel Fourteen years of back and forth Of work and church and honeys do's
He's a hardhat hammer swingin' 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 has turned into
He'll fight tooth and nail for his family Give the shirt right off his back for a friend in need
Chorus: 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
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
(Repeat Chorus)
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
(Repeat Chorus)
This song's for you The American Man The American Man
