Like A Soldier

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 I lifted me up with you So, I believe it was a road that 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 that 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's 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 Everyday gets betther than the day before I'm like a soldier getting over the war --- Like A Soldier - Johnny Cash
