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...
