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, playin' low

The secrets that we shared

Mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control

'Til 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 and we were running

Against the wind



The years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

Found myself further and further from my home

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



Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time

Breaking all of the rules that we bent

Began to find myself searching

Searching for shelter again and again



Against the wind

I was running against the wind

I found myself seeking shelter

Against the wind

But 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

Well I'm older now but still running

Against the wind

Against the wind

Against the wind....
