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 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 I'd remembered and pain it'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 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
