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 lifted me up with you So I believe it was a road I was meant to ride [Chorus] Im like a soldier getting over the war Im like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways I dont have to do that anymore Im like a soldier getting over the war There are nights I dont remember and pain thats 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 Theres not one that matters now, no matter who Im just thankful for the journey and that Ive survived the battles And that my spoils of victory is you You might also like[Chorus] Im like a soldier getting over the war Im like a young man getting over his crazy days Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways Every day gets better than the day before Im like a soldier getting over the war
