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

I´m like a soldier getting over the war
I´m 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

There are nights I don´t remember
And pain that´s 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
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 is you

I´m like a soldier getting over the war
I´m 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
I´m like a soldier getting over the war
