Against the Wind
It seems like yesterday,But it was long ago,Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nightsThere in the darkness with the radio playing lowAnd the secrets that we sharedThe mountains that we movedCaught like a wildfire out of controlTill there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to proveAnd I remember what she said to meHow she swore that it never would endI remember how she held me oh so tightWish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Against the windWe were runnin' against the windWe were young and strong, we were runnin'Against the wind
The years rolled slowly pastAnd I found myself aloneSurrounded by strangers I thought were my friendsI found myself further and further from my homeAnd I guess I lost my wayThere were oh so many roadsI was living to run and running to liveNever worried about paying or even how much I owedMoving eight miles a minute for months at a timeBreaking all of the rules that would bendI began to find myself searchingSearching for shelter again and again
Against the windA little something against the windI found myself seeking shelter against the wind
Well those drifter's days are past me nowI've got so much more to think aboutDeadlines and commitmentsWhat to leave in, what to leave out
Against the windI'm still runnin' against the windI'm older now but still runnin' against the windWell I'm older now and still runnin'Against the windAgainst the windAgainst the wind
Still runnin'I'm still runnin' against the windI'm still runnin'I'm still runnin' against the windStill runnin'Runnin' against the windRunnin' against the windSee the young man runWatch the young man runWatch the young man runnin'He'll be runnin' against the windLet the cowboys rideLet the cowboys rideThey'll be ridin' against the windAgainst the wind...
