Against The Wind — текст песни (Willie Nelson)

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
