Against the Wind

Seems like yesterday, but it was long ago

Janie was lovely, she was the queen of my nights

There in the darkness with the radio playin' low

The secrets that we shared, mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control

'Til there was nothin' left to burn and nothin' left to prove

And I remember what she said to me

How she swore it would never end

I remember how she held me 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

And runnin' against the wind

Years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

Found myself further and further from my home

Guess I lost my way, there were, oh, so many roads

I was livin' to run and runnin' to live

Never worry 'bout payin' or even how much I owe

Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time

Breakin' all the rules that would bend

Then to find myself searchin'

Searchin' for shelter again and again

Against the wind

A little somethin' 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 and what to leave out

Against the wind

I'm still runnin' against the wind

Well, I'm older now and still runnin'

Against the wind

Yeah, I'm older now and still runnin'

Against the wind

Against the wind

Against the wind

Against the wind (Let the cowboy ride)

Against the wind

Against the wind (Still runnin' against the wind)

Against the wind

Against the wind
