Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band – Against the Wind
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
