[Verse 1]
Seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janie was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in 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 nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore it never would end
I remember how she held me so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were running against the wind
We were young and strong and running against the wind
[Verse 2]
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 running to live
Never worried about payin' or even how much I owe
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all of the rules that would bend
Began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again
[Chorus]
Against the wind
A little somethin' against the wind
I found myself seekin' 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 and what to leave out
[Chorus]
Against the wind
I'm still running against the wind
Well, I'm older now and still running against the wind
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm older now and still running against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind (With the cowboy walk)
Against the wind
Against the wind (Runnin' against the wind)
Against the wind
Against the wind
