The Mercenary Song by Cory Morrow Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1997

Well me and ol' Billy we both come from Georgia
We met Hank down in New Mexico
We're bound for Durango to join Pancho Villas
We hear that he's payin' in gold
Well I guess a man's got to do what he's best at
I ain't found nothin' better so far
We've been called mercenaries and men with no country
We're just soldiers in search of a war

Yeah and we're bound for the border
We're soldier's of fortune
We'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the green back dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico's way

When this war is over I might had back to Georgia
And settle down with a wife somewhere
I'll most likely pack up and head down to Chile
I've heard a tail there's some trouble down there

Yeah and we're bound for the border
We're soldier's of fortune
We'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the green back dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico's way
Yeah and we're bound for the border
We're soldier's of fortune
Hey we'll fight for no country but we'll die for good pay
Under the flag of the green back dollar
Or the Peso down Mexico's way
Yeah or the Peso down Mexico's way
