Crazy Old Soldier Lyrics - The Greatest: Duets - Johnny Cash

I? ve had fame and fortune, women come knock on my door 

I? ve live to the limit and maybe a little bit more 

There are so many stories of how I got out of control 

Some say it? s a woman, some say it? s my trouble soul 

I? m like a crazy old solider fightin? a war on my own 

Just me and the whiskey and the bottles are ten thousand strong 

You? d think I? d give up as many times as I? ve been hit 

But like a crazy old soldier, I just don? t know when to quit 

Barrooms and bedrooms are just faces and places and names 

Once for the pleasure and Lord knows once for the pain 

I? ve tried to forget her and all of the things that we? ve done 

But as long as there are memories, I? ll never hang up my gun
