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 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 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


Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind

We were young and strong, we were runnin'
Against the wind


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 living to run and running to live
Never worryied 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


Against the wind
A little something against the wind

I found myself seeking shelter sgainst the wind

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


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


Still runnin'
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm still runnin'

I'm still runnin' against the wind
Still runnin'
Runnin' against the wind

Runnin' against the wind
See the young man run
Watch the young man run

Watch the young man runnin'
He'll be runnin' against the wind
Let the cowboys ride

Let the cowboys ride
They'll be ridin' against the wind
Against the wind ...
