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

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



and i remember what she said to me

how she swore it never would end

I remember how she held me oh so tight

wish I didnt know now what I didnt 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 slowley past

and I found myself alone

surrounded by strangers i thaught were my friends

found myself further and further from my home and 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



oh then eight mile a minute and for months at a time

breakin all of the rules that would bend

i began to find myself searchin

searchin for shelter again and again



against the wind

little somethin against the wind

i found myself seekin shelter against the wind



well those drifeters days are past me now

Iv'e got so much more to think about

deadlines and commiments

what to leave in, what to leave out



against the wind

im still runnin against the wind

im older now but still runnin against the wind



well im older now but still runnin against the wind

against the wind

against the wind

still runnin

against the wind

against the wind

against the wind
