Soldier Of Fortune Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

I'll follow my dreams like a soldier of fortune 

I'd rather chase rainbows than stay here 

And grow old and never know 

How high I could fly if I reach for the sky 

It's my turn to try 

So I'll take my best hold 

I've done my time in the beer and wine mines 

Tryin' to climb with my own kind of rhymes 

It ain't easy 

I've had my doubts what they're mostly about 

Whether I should reach out to the crowd 

To just try to please me

Chasin' the brass rein and bendin' guitar strings 

Are the things I enjoy most of all 

We can just call this a mission of mercy 

But the soldier of fortune should fall 

(I'll follow my dreams) 

I already know, it's a rough row to hoe 

But I can't let go 

I've been almost so close a few times 

My sights are all set, it's my chance to get 

Somethin' better than whatever 

It is that I'm leavin' behind 

Chasin' the brass rein and bendin' guitar strings 

Are the things I enjoy most of all 

We can just call this a mission of mercy 

But the soldier of fortune should fall 

I'll follow my dreams like a soldier of fortune 

I'd rather chase rainbows than stay here 

And grow old and never know
