Against The Wind
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 playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till 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
And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners 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 searchin'
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 drifters 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
Well I'm older now and still
Against the wind
Contra o Vento
Parece que foi ontem
Mas já faz tempo
Janey era linda, era a rainha das minhas noites
Lá na escuridão com o rádio tocando baixo
E os segredos que compartilhamos
As montanhas que movemos
Pegos como um incêndio fora de controle
Até não sobrar nada pra queimar e nada pra provar
E eu me lembro do que ela me disse
Como ela jurou que nunca ia acabar
Eu lembro como ela me segurava tão apertado
Queria não saber agora o que não sabia então
Contra o vento
Estávamos correndo contra o vento
Éramos jovens e fortes, estávamos correndo
contra o vento
E os anos passaram devagar
E eu me vi sozinho
Cercado por estranhos que achava que eram meus amigos
Me afastei cada vez mais da minha casa
E acho que perdi meu caminho
Havia tantas estradas
Eu vivia pra correr e corria pra viver
Nunca me preocupei em pagar ou até quanto devia
Movendo a oito milhas por minuto por meses a fio
Quebrando todas as regras que podiam ser dobradas
Comecei a me encontrar buscando
Buscando abrigo de novo e de novo
Contra o vento
Um pouco de abrigo contra o vento
Eu me vi buscando abrigo contra o vento
Bem, aqueles dias de andarilho ficaram pra trás
Tenho muito mais pra pensar agora
Prazos e compromissos
O que deixar de fora, o que incluir
Contra o vento
Ainda estou correndo contra o vento
Bem, agora sou mais velho e ainda
Contra o vento
