"Against The Wind" lyrics - THE HIGHWAYMEN

[Jennings:]
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
She was loving, she was a queen of our nights
There in the darkness, we would lay low

The secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Up 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

[Cash:]
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
