Willie Nelson Against The Wind
WAYLON: It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights There in the darkness with the radio, playin' 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 JOHNNY: 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 CHORUS (ALL): Against the wind We were running against the wind We were young and strong But just running against the wind WILLIE: And 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 livin' to run and runnin' to live Never worrying about paying or how much I owed Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time Breakin' all of the rules I could bend I began to find myself searchin' Searchin' for shelter again and again CHORUS (ALL): Against the wind We were running against the wind I found myself seekin' Shelter against the wind WILLIE: All those drifter's days are passed me now I've got so much more to think about JOHNNY: Deadlines and commitments What to leave in, what to leave out CHORUS (ALL): Against the wind We were running against the wind Well I'm older now and still Running against the wind Against the wind Against the wind Against the wind
