Johnny Cash Album: Highwayman Track: Against the Wind
Against the Wind Lyrics
(B. Seger)
-Solo-
It seems like yesterday, but it was long ago She was lovely and 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 out of control There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove 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 runnin' against the wind We were young and strong But just runnin' against the wind
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 living to run and running to live Never worryin' about paying or how much I owed Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all the rules, I could bend I began to find myself searching Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind We were runnin' against the wind I found myself, seeking shelter against the wind
All those drifter's days are past me now I've got so much more to think about Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out
Against the wind We were runnin' against the wind We found ourselves, seeking shelter against the wind Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind
