Like A Soldier (featuring Willie Nelson) — текст песни (Johnny Cash)

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
