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, playing low.
And the secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like wildfire out of control
'Till there was n othing left to burn and nothing left to prove.
And I re member what she said to me, how she swore that it never would end
I re member 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 w ind.
We were young and strong, we were runnin'ag ainst the w ind.
And the years rolled slowly past, and I found myself alone.
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends.
I found myself further and furth er from my home.
And I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads.
I was living to run, and running to live,
Never w orrying about paying, or even how much I owed.
Runnin'8 miles a m inute for months at a t ime, breaking a ll of the r ules that would b end
I beg in to find mys elf just searching, searching for shelter again and again.
Against the w ind. A l ittle something against the wind.
I found myself seeking shelter ag ainst the wind.
Solo
Well those drifter's days are past me now, I've got so much more to think a bout.
Deadli nes and commitm ents, what to leave in, What to leave out.
Against the wind, I'm still runnin'against the w ind.
I'm olde r now but still runnin'a gainst the wi nd.
Well I' m olde * r now and still runnin... against the wind.
Against the wind. Against the wind. Against the wind -- still runnin'.
Against the wind -- I'm still runnin'against the wind.
Against the wind -- I'm still runnin'. Against the wind -- I'm still runnin'against the wind.
Against the wind -- still runnin'.
Against the wind -- runnin'against the wind -- runnin'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 -- Oooh
Against the wind -- let the cowboys ride. Against the wind -- they'll be riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind. Against the wind -- riding against the wind.
Against the wind -- against the wind.
Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride -- against the wind.
