Bob Seger - Against the wind
It 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
Till 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, we were running
Against the wind
And 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 searchin'
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 drifters' 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 running
Against the wind
Well, I'm older now and I'm still running
Against the wind
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
Till 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, we were running
Against the wind
And 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 searchin'
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 drifters' 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 running
Against the wind
Well, I'm older now and I'm still running
Against the wind
