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
