Johnny Cash Like A Soldier Lyrics

Like A Soldier Lyrics




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 

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



Like a soldier getting over the war 

Like a young man getting over his crazy days 

Like a bandit getting over his lawless ways 

Every day is better than before 

I'm like a soldier getting over the war



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



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
