American Sailor Chords & Lyrics - Toby Keith

[G]I’m Just Trying To Be To Be A Father

And Send My Child Support With Love

I’ve Got K[D]ids In 14 Countries

At Least The Ones That I Know Of

Up and at[C]’um in the morning,

With a bitch, a moan and gripe,

Can’t af[D]ford to be late to work again,

Probably lose another stripe.

I don’t [G]do it for the money,

Oh that’s subsistence pay.

But I hate gi[D]ving to the galley,

But they just take it anyway.

It is the l[C]ife that I have chosen,

To be the few, the proud, the brave.

Now I’m sta[D]nding here getting my ass chewed,

Cause for once I forgot to shave.

I can’t c[G]all in drunk on Monday,

When I downed so much I puked.

I just sl[D]eep through my duty days,

And sometimes on watch too.

You can b[C]et that I’ll be ready,

When the group heads to the bar.

I get wa[D]sted, I get arrested,

And I puked some in the car.

But I’ll al[G]ways Sweep My P-Ways,

When Chief says do it now!

It takes one g[D]uy to do the job,

I need four to tell me how.

Oh, and [C]I don’t want to work today,

But if work it has to be.

Well I’ll d[D]rag my ass to Quarters,

So they can read me the POD.

I’m an Ame[G]rican Sailor in the USN,

Beside my shi[D]pmates and shitbags,

That always seem to find ways in.

When lib[C]erty is put out for me,

I will always get my fight

And I’m o[G]ut here at the whorehouse,

To G[A]et Some Ass Tonight

Am[C]erican Sailor

I[D]’m an American Sa[G]ilor
