"Against The Wind" lyrics

"Against The Wind"
(originally by Bob Seger)

It 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
The secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
We were 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 this would never 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 runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong
We were runnin' 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 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
And I began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind

Well, those drifter's days are past me now
I got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well, I'm older now and still runnin'
Against the wind

Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
