Like A Soldier

<p>With the twilight colors falling and the evening laying shadows<br/>Hidden memories come stealing from my mind<br/>And I feel my own heart beating out the simple joy of living<br/>And I wonder how I ever was that kind<br/><br/>But the wild road I was rambling was always out there calling<br/>And you said a hundred times I should have died<br/>Then you reached down and touched me and lifted me up with you<br/>So I believe it was a road I was meant to ride<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>I&#x27;m like a soldier getting over the war<br/>I&#x27;m like a young man getting over his crazy days<br/>Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways<br/>I don&#x27;t have to do that anymore<br/>I&#x27;m like a soldier getting over the war<br/>There are nights I don&#x27;t remember and pain that&#x27;s been forgotten<br/>And a lot of things I choose not to recall<br/>There are faces that come to me in my darkest secret memories<br/>Faces that I wish would not come back at all<br/><br/>But in my dream&#x27;s parade of lovers from the other times and places<br/>There&#x27;s not one that matters now, no matter who<br/>I&#x27;m just thankful for the journey and that I&#x27;ve survived the battles<br/>And that my spoils of victory is you<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>I&#x27;m like a soldier getting over the war<br/>I&#x27;m like a young man getting over his crazy days<br/>Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways<br/>Every day gets better than the day before<br/>I&#x27;m like a soldier getting over the war
