Hi. I sent this song before but I didn't have the author; well a
couple of helpful people sent me his name so here's the song again
with the correct credits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Performed by the Highwaymen
Words and music: Bob Seger
Against the Wind
C Em
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago
F C
She was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
G F
There in the darkness with the radio playing low.
C Em
The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved
F C
Caught like a wild fire out of control
F
Till there was nothing left to burn
G
and nothing left to prove.
Am G C
And I remember what she said to me
Am F C
How she swore that it would never end
Am G F
I remember how she held me oh, so tight,
G C
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
Chorus:
Em
Against the wind,
F C
We were running against the wind.
F Em
We were young and strong,
Dm F C
We were running against the wind.
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.
And 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 that would bend.
I began to find myself
Searching for shelter again and again.
Chorus:
Against the wind,
We were running against the wind.
I found myself seeking
Shelter against the wind.
All those drifter's days are passed me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments,
What to leave in and what to leave out.
Chorus:
Em
Against the wind,
F C
We were running against the wind.
F Em
Well I'm older now and still
G F
Running against the wind
C
Against the wind
