WAYLON:
   It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
   She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
   There in the darkness with the radio, playin' low
   The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
   Caught like a wildfire out of control
   There was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
   JOHNNY:
   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
  
   CHORUS (ALL):
   Against the wind
   We were running against the wind
   We were young and strong
   But just running against the wind
  
   WILLIE:
   And 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 worrying about paying or how much I owed
   Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time
   Breakin' all of the rules I could bend
   I began to find myself searchin'
   Searchin' for shelter again and again
  
   CHORUS (ALL):
   Against the wind
   We were running against the wind
   I found myself seekin'
   Shelter against the wind
  
   WILLIE:
   All those drifter's days are passed me now
   I've got so much more to think about
   JOHNNY:
   Deadlines and commitments
   What to leave in, what to leave out
  
   CHORUS (ALL):
   Against the wind
   We were running against the wind
   Well I'm older now and still
   Running against the wind
   Against the wind
  
   Against the wind
   Against the wind
