Against The Wind

Bob Seger

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 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 running against the wind.
We were young and strong but just running against the wind.

The years rolled slowly past, and 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, on oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live.
Never worrying about paying the rent or how much I owed.
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time.
Breaking all of the rules I could 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.

Those drifters 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.
Against the wind, I'm still running against the wind.
I'm older now but still running against the wind.
Against the wind....against the wind.
Still running against the wind, still running against the wind.
Watch a young man running...against the wind
Watch a young man running...against the wind,
I'm still running against the wind.
And the cowboys ride........against the wind.
And the cowboys ride........against the wind.
Riding against the wind......against the wind.
