Highwaymen - Against the Wind lyrics

(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
