G He may never see his little girl or even her little boy, A But they’re fighting for our country, bringing freedom and joy. CHORUS: D A They’re American Soldiers fighting for the land they love, B G They’re our heroes and our family sent from the man above. D A Doing their duties we send them on with love and prayer. B G And someday if they don’t make it back, we hope they know we cared. 2nd Verse: D They never know what will happen, they’re taking such a chance, B And day to day we wonder how we will ever pay them back. G They’re so courageous and proud, they are so brave and strong, A All we wish for now is that they won’t be there very long. CHORUS: D A They’re American Soldiers fighting for the land they love, B G They’re our heroes and our family sent from the man above. D A Doing their duties we send them on with love and prayer. B G And someday if they don’t make it back, we hope they know we cared.
