WAYLON:
|
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
|
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
|
There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low
|
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
|
Caught like a wildfire out of control
|
There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
|
JOHNNY:
|
And I remember what she said to me
|
How she swore that it would never end
|
I remember how she held me oh, so tight
|
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
|
|
CHORUS (ALL):
|
Against the wind
|
We were running against the wind
|
We were young and strong
|
But just running against the wind
|
|
WILLIE:
|
And the years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone
|
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
|
I found myself further and further from my home
|
I guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roads
|
I was livin' to run and runnin' to live
|
Never worrying about paying or how much I owed
|
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
|
Breakin' all of the rules I could bend
|
I began to find myself searchin'
|
Searchin' for shelter again and again
|
|
CHORUS (ALL):
|
Against the wind
|
We were running against the wind
|
I found myself seekin'
|
Shelter against the wind
|
|
WILLIE:
|
All those drifter's days are passed me now
|
I've got so much more to think about
|
JOHNNY:
|
Deadlines and commitments
|
What to leave in, what to leave out
|
|
CHORUS (ALL):
|
Against the wind
|
We were running against the wind
|
Well I'm older now and still
|
Running against the wind
|
Against the wind
|
|
Against the wind
|
Against the wind
|
