Against The Wind

[Waylon Jennings]

It seems like yesterday

But it was long ago

She was lovely

She was the queen of my nights

There in the darkness with the radio, playing low

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

[Johnny 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

Against the wind

We were running against the wind

We were young and strong

We just were running against the wind

[Willie Nelson]

And the years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

I found myself further and futher 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 ever how much I owned

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

We were running against the wind

I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

[Willie Nelson]

Oh, those drifter days are past me now

I've got so much more to think about

[Johnny Cash]

Deadlines and commitments

What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind

We were running against the wind

We found ourselfs seeking shelter against the wind

Against the wind

Against the wind
