Like a Soldier Lyrics

With the twilight colors falling And the evening laying shadows Hidden memories come stealing from my mind And I feel my own heart beating out The simple joy of living And I wonder how I ever was that kind But the wild road I was rambling Was always out there calling And you said a hundred times I should have died Then you reached down and touched me And lifted me up with you So, I believed it was a road I was meant to ride I'm like a soldier getting over the war I'm like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore I'm like a soldier getting over the war There are nights I don't remember And pain, it's been forgotten And a lot of things I choose not to recall There are faces that come to me In my darkest secret memorys Faces that I wish would not come back at all But in my dreams parade of lovers From the other times and places There's not one that matters now, no matter who I'm just thankful for the journey And that I survived the battles And that my spoils of victory is you I'm like a soldier getting over the war I'm like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways Every day is better than the day before I'm like a soldier getting over the war
