Against The Wind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[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
