Willie Nelson - Against The Wind Lyrics
WAYLON:It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time agoShe was lovely, she was the queen of my nightsThere in the darkness with the radio, playin' lowThe secrets that we shared, the mountains that we movedCaught like a wildfire out of controlThere was nothing left to burn and nothing left to proveJOHNNY:And I remember what she said to meHow she swore that it would never endI remember how she held me oh, so tightWish I didn't know now what I didn't know thenCHORUS (ALL):Against the windWe were running against the windWe were young and strongBut just running against the windWILLIE:And the years rolled slowly past, I found myself aloneSurrounded by strangers I thought were my friendsI found myself further and further from my homeI guess I lost my way, there were oh, so many roadsI was livin' to run and runnin' to liveNever worrying about paying or how much I owedMovin' eight miles a minute for months at a timeBreakin' all of the rules I could bendI began to find myself searchin'Searchin' for shelter again and againCHORUS (ALL):Against the windWe were running against the windI found myself seekin'Shelter against the windWILLIE:All those drifter's days are passed me nowI've got so much more to think aboutJOHNNY:Deadlines and commitmentsWhat to leave in, what to leave outCHORUS (ALL):Against the windWe were running against the windWell I'm older now and stillRunning against the windAgainst the windAgainst the windAgainst the wind
