Soldier of Fortune
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
When you rise up in the morning sun
And you owe no debt to anyone
There's a freedom that easily drifts away
If you fight against the current of the day
You cannot hold back the ocean tide
There's no way to make the thunder be still
It makes no difference what you feel deep inside
You cannot make her love against her will
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Never waste your precious moments
There's only so much a worried mind can take
When you lay down 'neath the evening stars
And you think of her in another's arms
There's a sadness that does not go away
If you dwell upon the sins of yesterday
You cannot roll back the hands of time
What is lost can never be retrieved
It makes no difference what you say
You will not make her suddenly believe
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Never waste your precious moments
There's only so much a worried mind can take
I met a young man once on the island of St. Thomas
His name happened to be Thomas, that's a fact
Now Thomas was a good man, maybe not a Saint but who am I to judge
He knew the island well
Said he left for the big city once but found the traffic to be hell
So he made his way back home to the island
Spends his time working hard, trying to find his way
Just an ordinary guy trying to make it in this world
Like the rest of us
But Thomas gave me a piece of advice I'll never forget
Some words that he said he got from his Mama
He said Nero... Always be a soldier of fortune
Just roll with whatever comes your way
Some very wise words from a young man
And words that ring true to this day
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Roll with whatever comes your way
When you rise up in the morning sun
And you owe no debt to anyone
There's a freedom that easily drifts away
If you fight against the current of the day
You cannot hold back the ocean tide
There's no way to make the thunder be still
It makes no difference what you feel deep inside
You cannot make her love against her will
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Never waste your precious moments
There's only so much a worried mind can take
When you lay down 'neath the evening stars
And you think of her in another's arms
There's a sadness that does not go away
If you dwell upon the sins of yesterday
You cannot roll back the hands of time
What is lost can never be retrieved
It makes no difference what you say
You will not make her suddenly believe
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Never waste your precious moments
There's only so much a worried mind can take

Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

Roll with whatever comes your way
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
Always be a soldier of fortune
Roll with whatever comes your way
