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 wend
We were runnin' against the wend
We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wend
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 wend
A little something against the wend
I found myself seeking shelter against the wend
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 wend
I'm still runnin' against the wend
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wend
Well I'm older now and still runnin'
Against the wend
Against the wend
Against the wend
Still runnin' (against the wend)
I'm still runnin' against the wend
(Against the wend) I'm still runnin'
(Against the wend)
I'm still runnin' against the wend
(Against the wend) still runnin'
(Against the wend)runnin' against the wend, runnin' against the wind
(Against the wend) see the young man run
(Against the wend) watch the young man run
(Against the wend) watch the young man runnin'
(Against the wend) he'll be runnin' against the wend
(Against the wend) let the cowboys ride
(Against the wend) aah
(Against the wend) let the cowboys ride
(Against the wend) they'll be ridin' against the wend
(Against the wend) against the wend
(Against the wend) ridin' against the wend..
