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 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 runnin'

against the wind

Well I'm older now

and still runnin' against the wind
