Against the Wind

Seems like yesterday, but it was long ago -
Janie was lovely; she was the Queen of my night
 there in the darkness with the radio playing lowly.

And 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.

And I remember what she said to me,
 how she swore that it never would 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 and we were running against the wind.
.
.

Guess I lost my way over oh, so many roads.
I was living to run and running to live,
 never worrying about paying or even how much I owed.

Well, 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; I'm still running against the wind.
I'm older now, but still running against the wind.

Well, I'm older now, and still running
   against the wind.
