Against the Wind
Recorded by The Highwaymen
Written by Bob Seger

[C] It seems like yester-[Em]day, but it was a long time ago
[F] She was lovely, she [C] was the queen of my nights
[G] There in the dark-[F]ness with the radio playing low.
[C]The secrets that [Em] we shared, the mountains that we moved
[F] Caught like a wild fire [C] out of control
Till there [F] was nothing left to burn
and nothing left [G] to prove.
And [Am] I remem-[G]ber what she [C] said to me
How she [Am] swore that [F] it wou-[C]ld never end
I [Am remember how [G] she held [F] me oh, so tight,
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.

Against [Em] the wind,
[F] We were running a-[C]gainst the wind.
We [F] were young [Em] and strong,
We [Dm] were run-[F]ning against [C] 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.

Against [Em] the wind,
[F] We were running a-[C]gainst the wind.
We [F] were young [Em] and strong,
We [Dm] were run-[F]ning against [C] the wind.

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.

[Em] Against the wind,
[F] We were run-[C]ning against the wind.
Well [F] I'm ol-[Em]der now and still
[G] Running against [F] the wind
Against [C] the wind
