[Jennings]
|
It seems like yesterday
|
But it was long ago
|
She was lovely, she was the queen of our nights
|
There in the darkness, with the radio playing low
|
|
The secrets that we shared
|
The mountains that we moved
|
Caught like a wildfire and out of control
|
There was nothin' left to burn and nothin' left to prove
|
|
[Cash]
|
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
|
|
[All]
|
Against the wind
|
We were runnin' against the wind
|
We were young and strong
|
But just runnin' against the wind
|
|
[Nelson]
|
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 worryin' about payin' or how much I owed
|
|
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
|
Breakin' all the rules I could bend
|
I began to find myself searchin'
|
Searchin' for shelter again and again
|
|
[All]
|
Against the wind
|
We were runnin' against the wind
|
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind
|
|
[Nelson]
|
All those drifter's days are past me now
|
I've got so much more to think about
|
[Cash]
|
Deadlines and commitments
|
What to leave in, what to leave out
|
|
[All]
|
Against the wind
|
We were runnin' against the wind
|
We found ourselves seekin' shelter against the wind
|
Against the wind
|
Against the wind
|
