I`m 3000 miles from home, I`m so tired and I`m all alone,
It`s a good thing that I`m single, wish I could swing all nite long,
but I got a job with a price on my head so I must get away,
It`s one hell of a lifestyle but then it brings in the pay,
Nowhere to hang my gun (No time to say hello)
And every mother`s son (He wants to see you swing)
I take the job again (And you will never know)
I dread the moment when (The telephone will ring)

I got a Luger strapped to my thigh, I got a Magnum as well,
I got my cold eyes for comfort, I can be hotter than hell
I`m a professional man, I could see you in seconds flat
I can show you no mercy, well they don`t pay me for that.
A fine political mess (and someone`s got to go)
Just leave name, time and address (in plain sealed envelope)
I get out just in time (and no-one tells the tale)
And all that`s left is mine (but how do you feel?)

I`m a soldier of fortune, I`ve got the will to survive,
But when the brass tacks are down I`m lucky to be alive,
When I think back on my past, well I`d do the same thing again,
I got a bug now for the danger, just take the money and run.
I start this whole machine (And when the bullets fly)
I`m nowhere to be seen (You`re too afraid to die)
It`s on the news tonight (They wonder who you are)
I`m on another flight (but you`re going nowhere)
