lyrics

Older Soldiers

I was never born to suffer
against the grain of some crooked law
There's been talk in town that's been believed
I must ride with the wind tonight

I staggered into town a stranger
gazing through a veil of tears
using wisdom only gathered by word of mouth
gathered long over the years

(Chorus)
You can throw all the blame on me babe
I'm a martyr in my belief
but If you look out into my heart you'll fear I'm innocent
Older soldiers never die at all
They simply fade away
When every dreams been dreamt
they must awake to the blame.

So everything comes to a standstill
when the days are not my own
With a stubborn scowl painted on my face
I must ride with the wind tonight
I don't know what tomorrow brings
Life changes like the seasons
But with you by my side
with a trace of a smile
I know the times are bound to look up.

(Chorus)

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
