Bob Seger Witnesses to a Futile Life: Running "Against the Wind"! "Deadlines and Commitments? What to Leave Out, What to Leave In?" Come to Christ and Escape those Empty Storms of Life!

An old hippy 'running against the wind!"

"Against the Wind"

Written By

Bob Seger


It 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 playing low, and


And the secrets that we shared


The mountains that we moved


Caught like a wildfire out of control


'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing 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


The years rolled slowly past


And 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 living to run and running to live


Never worried about paying or even how much I owed


Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time


Breaking all of the rules that would bend


I began to find myself searching


Searching for shelter again and again


Against the wind


A little something against the wind


I found myself seeking shelter against the wind


Well those drifter's 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 and 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) watch the young man run


(Against the wind) watch the young man runnin'


(Against the wind) he'll be runnin' against the wind


(Against the wind) let the cowboys ride


(Against the wind) aah


(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...
