Against The Wind Songtext
von Bob Seger

Seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playin low, and
And the secrets that we shared
Mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
′Til there was nothin' left to burn and nothin′ left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me, oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin′ against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin′ against the wind


And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
Found myself further and further from my home and I
Guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was livin' to run and runnin′ to live
Never worried about payin' or even how much I owe

Movin′ eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breakin all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searchin′ for shelter again and again

Against the wind
Little somethin' against the wind
I found myself seekin' shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I′ve got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I′m still runnin' against the wind
I′m older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I′m older now but still runnin' against the wind


Against the wind
(Against the wind)
Still runnin′
(Against the wind)
I'm still runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind)
I′m still runnin′
(Against the wind)
I'm still runnin′ against the wind
(Against the wind)
Still runnin'
(Against the wind)
Runnin′ against the wind, runnin against the wind
(Against the wind)
See the young man run
(Against the wind)
Whatcha the young man run
(Against the wind)
Whatcha a young man runnin'
(Against the wind)
He′ll be runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind)
Let the cowboys ride
(Against the wind)
Hmmm, (against the wind)
Let the cowboys ride
(Against the wind)
They'll be ridin′ against the wind
(Against the wind)
Against the wind!
(Against the wind)
Ridin′ against the wind
(Against the wind)
(Against the wind)
Ride, Ride, Ride, Ride, Ride...
