Artist/Band: Johnny Cash
Lyrics for Song: Like A Soldier
Lyrics for Album: American Recordings [2006]



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 that 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 arn't remembered

And there's pain that'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've 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
