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 life that's precious to me

I wonder how I ever was that kind

But the wild road that I rambled always seemed to be there calling

And they said a hundred times I should have died

But now my present miracle is that you are here beside me

So I believe that they were roads I had to ride

I'm like a solider gettin' over the war

I'm like a young man getting over his crazy days

Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways

But every day is better than the day before

I'm like a solider gettin' over the war

There were nights that I don't remember, and there's pain that I've forgotten

And I did some 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

In my dreams, parade of people 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 spoils of victory is you

I'm like a solider getting over the war

I'm like a young man getting over his crazy days

Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways

But every day is better than the day before

I'm like a solider gettin' over the war
