lyrics

It seems like yesterday, so long ago

Janie was so lovely, 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 with nothing left to burn, nothing left to lose.



I remember when she said to me

How she swore it would never end

I remember when she used to hold me, oh so tight, I wish I knew now what I didn’t know then



Against the wind, we’re running against the wind

We were young and strong we were running against the wind



Years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone, surrounded by strangers who I thought were my friends

And I found myself further from my home and

I guess I lost my way, oh so many roads, living to run and learning to live

Not worried about how much I owe



Running eight miles a minute a month at a time

Breaking all the rules that I could bend

And I found myself searching, searching for shelter again and again



Against the wind, a little something against the wind

And I found myself seeking shelter against the wind



These drifting days have past me by

I got so much more to think about

Negotiations, commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out



Against the wind, still running against the wind

We are older now yet still running against the wind

We are older now but still running against the wind
