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 runnin' 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 searchin' 
Searchin' for shelter again and again 

Against the wind 
A little somethin' against the wind 
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind 

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

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