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 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 worrying about paying, or even how much I owed
Runnin' 8 miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I begin to find myself just 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 running against the wind
I'm older now but still running against the wind
Well I'm older now and still running against the wind
Against the wind. Against the wind. Against the wind -- still running
Against the wind -- I'm still running against the wind
