(Jennings) |
|
It seems like yesterday |
|
But it was long ago |
|
She was lovely, 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 and out of control |
|
There was nothin' left to burn and nothin' left to prove |
|
(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 |
|
(All) |
|
Against the wind |
|
We were runnin' against the wind |
|
We were young and strong |
|
But just runnin' against the wind |
|
(Nelson) |
|
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 worryin' about payin' or how much I owed |
|
Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time |
|
Breakin' all the rules I could bend |
|
I began to find myself searchin' |
|
Searchin' for shelter again and again |
|
(All) |
|
Against the wind |
|
We were runnin' against the wind |
|
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind |
|
(Nelson) |
|
All those drifter's days are past me now |
|
I've got so much more to think about |
|
(Cash) |
|
Deadlines and commitments |
|
What to leave in, what to leave out |
|
(All) |
|
Against the wind |
|
We were runnin' against the wind |
|
We found ourselves seekin' shelter against the wind |
|
Against the wind |
|
Against the wind |
