SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
Soldier of fortune, warrior of fate
Maker of destiny, may it be great
His heart and soul have gone to roam
Longs for the day he'll find his home

Deep Purple - Soldier of Fortune
Lovely lady you know I am a drifter
Life didn’t need to move any swifter,

Soldier of Fortune
Valencia, a return to the Spanish coast, 1966
Nineteen and running wild, searching
Conversation turns to idealism, liberty expiring
Port and starboard, hand shake, maybe again
Two nights, same bar, Listened to the stories
Eleven years since he’d seen home
Adventure sets a fire in a young man’s soul
A need to spread your wings
We’d meet by chance again in Barcelona
Sorry mate,
