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
