Like a Soldier

With the twilight colors falling

And the evening laying shadows

Hidden memories come stealing from my mind

As I feel my own heart beating out

The simple joy of living

I wonder how I ever was that kind

But the wild road I was rambling

Was always out there calling

And they said a hundred times I should have died

Then you came down and touch me

And lift me up with you

So I believe it was road I was meant to ride

Like a soldier getting over the war

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 like a soldier getting over the war

Mights I don't remember

And there's pain that I've forgotten

And other things I choose not to recall

There are faces that come to me

That I thought was long forgotten

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 reward for victory is you

I like a soldier getting over the war

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 like a soldier getting over the war
