A letra:
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
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 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
Against the wind
A little something
against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against 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' (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) aah
(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...
