Like A Soldier

1. With the twilight colors falling
   And the evening laying shadows
                                           D
   Hidden memories come stealing from my mind
   As I feel my own heart beating out
   The simple joy of living
                                  G
   I wonder how I ever was that kind
   
2. But the wild road I was rambling
   Was always out there calling
                                                 D7
   And they said a hundred times I should have died
   But now my present miracle
   Is that you're here beside me So,
   I believe they were roads that I was meant to ride

R: Like a soldier getting over the war    
   Like a young man getting over his crazy days
          C              D7               Em   
   Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways
   C            D7                G
   Every day is better than before
   I'm like a soldier getting over the war

3. There were nights I don't remember
   And there's pain that I've forgotten
   Other things I choose not to recall
   There are faces that come to me
   In my darkest secret memory
   Faces that I wish would not come back at all
   
4. 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 spoils of victory are you

R: Like a soldier getting over the war...
