"Against The Wind" lyrics
"Against The Wind"
Seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playin' low, and
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me, oh, so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
We were running against the wind
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home and I
I guess I lost my way
There were oh, so many roads
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
Never worried about payin' or even how much I owed
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again
Against the wind
Little somethin' against the wind
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind
Well, those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
I'm older now but still running against the wind
Well, I'm older now and still running
Against the wind
Against the wind
(Against the wind)
I'm still running
(Against the wind)
I'm still running against the wind
(Against the wind)
I'm still running
(Against the wind)
I'm still running against the wind
(Against the wind)
Still running
(Against the wind)
Running against the wind, running against the wind
(Against the wind)
See the young man run
(Against the wind)
Watch the young man run
(Against the wind)
Watch the young man runnin'
(Against the wind)
He'll be runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind)
Let the cowboys ride
(Against the wind)
Unh
(Against the wind)
Let the cowboys ride
(Against the wind)
They'll be ridin' against the wind
(Against the wind)
Against the wind
(Against the wind)
Ridin' against the wind
(Against the wind)
(Against the wind)
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride, ride
(Against the wind)
