Like A Soldier

Lyrics for Like A Soldier

With the twilight colors fallin' And the evening layin' shadows Hidden memories come stealin' from my mind And I feel my own heart beatin' out The simple joy of livin' And I wonder how I ever was that kind But the wild road I was ramblin' Was always out there callin' And you said a hundred times I should have died Then you reached down and touch me And lifted me up with you So I believe it was road I was meant to ride I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war I'm like a young man gettin' over his crazy days Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways I don't have to do that anymore I'm like a soldier gettin' 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 memories 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've survived the battles And that my spoil of victory is you I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war I'm like a young man gettin' over his crazy days Like a bandit gettin' over his lawless ways Everyday gets better than a day before I'm like a soldier gettin' over the war
