Bob Seger & The Silver Bullit Band Against The Wind Lyrics

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 bv 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

Musical Interlude

Well those drifters days are past me now
Ive got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin'
Against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'

Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
I'm still runnin'
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Against the wind
I'm still runnin'
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Against the wind
Still running'
Against the wind
Runnin' against the wind
Runnin' against the wind
Against the wind
See the young man run
Against the wind
Watch a young man run
Against the wind
Watch a young man runnin'
Against the wind
He'll be running against the wind
Against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Against the wind
Aaaahh
Against the wind
Let the cowboys ride
Against the wind
They'll be ridin' against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Ridin'against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

(Fade to end)
