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

You said a hundred times

I should have died

Then you came down and touched me and lifted me up with you

So, I believe it was a road

I was meant to ride

I'm 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'm like a soldier getting over the war

Nights and days that

I'd remembered and pain it's been forgotten

And other things

I choose not to recall

There are faces that come to me that

I thought were 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 survived the battles

And that my reward for victory is you

I'm 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'm like a soldier getting over the war
