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

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 runnin'against the wind

we were young and

strong we were runnin'

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

well i'm older now and still

against the wind
