Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
And the secrets that we shared
Mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again
[Chorus]
Against the wind
Little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind
[Verse 3]
Well those drifter's 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
[Chorus]
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
[Chorus]
Well I'm older now and still runnin'
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
Ah
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
Against the wind
