Like a Soldier Songtext

von Johnny Cash

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Like a Soldier" von Johnny Cash handelt von einem Mann, der seine wilden und rebellischen Tage hinter sich...

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
Than you reached down and touched me
And lifted me up with you
So I believe it was the road I was meant to ride

FIRST CHORUS
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 dream's 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 spoils of victory are you

SECOND CHORUS
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 slodier getting over the war
