[Verse 1]
Seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in darkness with the radio playin' low, and
The secrets that we shared
Mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothin' left to burn and nothin' left to prove

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
Remember how she held me, oh, so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

[Chorus]
Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong
We were runnin' against the wind

[Verse 2]
The years rolled slowly past
Found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
Found myself further and further from my home, and I
I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
Never worried about payin' or even how much I owe
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin' all of the rules that would bend
Began to find myself searchin'
Searchin' for shelter again and again

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

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin'
Against the wind
[Outro]
I'm much older now and still runnin'
Against the wind
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Against the wind
Still runnin'
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Against the wind
See the young man runnin'
Against the wind
Watch the young man run
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Against the wind
Against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Against the wind
