[Jennings:]
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long ago
She was lovely, she was the queen of our nights
There in the darkness with the radio playin' low
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
Caught like a wild fire 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 of the rules I could bend
I began to find myself searchin' for shelter again and again
[All:]
Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
I found myself seekin' shelter
Against the wind
[Nelson:]
All those drifter's days are passed 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
Against the wind
