[G]
Seems like yesterday,
[Bm] but it was long ago.
[C] Janie was lovely, [G] she was a queen of my night.
[D] There in the darkness with the [C] radio playing [G] nowhere.
And the secrets that we shared,
[Bm] the mountains that we moved,
[C] caught like a [G] wildfire out of control,
till [C] there was nothing left to burn and nothing [D] left to prove.
And [Em] I remember [D] what she [G] said to me,
how she [Em] swore that [C] it never would [G] end.
[Em] I remember how [D] she held me [C] oh so tight.
Wish I didn't know now [D] what I didn't know then.
[G]
Against [Bm] the wind, [C]
we were running [G] against the wind.
[C] We were young [Bm] and strong, we [Am] were running [C] [G] against the wind.
And the years rolled slowly past, [Bm]
and I found myself alone,
[C]
surrounded by strangers [G] I thought were my friends.
[D] I found myself further [C] and further from my home,
and [G] I guess I lost my way.
[Bm]
I rode so many roads, I [C] was living to run [G] and running to live,
[C] never worried about paying or [D] even how much I owe.
[Em] Moving eight [D] miles a minute for [G] months at a time,
[Em] breaking all of [C] the rules [G] that were then.
[Em] I [D] began to find [C] myself searching,
searching for shelter [D] again and again.
[G] Against [Bm] the wind, [C] a little something [G] against the wind.
[C] I found [Bm] myself [Am] seeking shelter [C] [G] against the wind.

Well, [Em] oh, those [D] drifter's days are [G] past me now.
I've [Em] got so [C] much more to think [G] about, [Em]
[D] deadlines [C] and commitments.
What to leave in, [D] what to leave out.
[G]
Against [Bm] the wind, [C]
I'm still running [G] against the wind.
[C] I'm older [Bm] now, but [Am] still running [C] against [G] the wind.
Well, [C] I'm older [Bm] now and [D] still running against [C] the wind.
[G] Still
[C] running [G] against the wind.
I'm still running against the wind.
[C] I'm still running [G] against the wind.
[C]
Still running [G] against the wind.
Running against the wind.
[C] See the young men run [G] against the wind.
Watch the young men run [C] against the wind.
Watch the young men run against [G] the wind.
I'll be running against the wind.
[C] Let the cowboys rap
