Forrest Gump movie - Against the Wind lyrics

rate me

Song by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band<br /><br>

It seems like yesterday<br>

But it was long ago<br>

Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights<br>

There in the darkness with the radio playing low<br>

And the secrets that we shared<br>

The mountains that we moved<br>

Caught like a wildfire out of control<br>

'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove<br>

And I remember what she said to me<br>

How she swore that it never would end<br>

I remember how she held me oh so tight<br>

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then<br>

<br>

Against the wind<br>

We were runnin' against the wind<br>

We were young and strong, we were runnin'<br>

Against the wind<br>

<br>

The years rolled slowly past<br>

And I found myself alone<br>

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends<br>

I found myself further and further from my home<br>

And I guess I lost my way<br>

There were oh so many roads<br>

I was living to run and running to live<br>

Never worryied about paying or even how much I owed<br>

Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time<br>

Breaking all of the rules that would bend<br>

I began to find myself searching<br>

Searching for shelter again and again<br>

<br>

Against the wind<br>

A little something against the wind<br>

I found myself seeking shelter sgainst the wind<br>

<br>

Well those drifter's days are past me now<br>

I've got so much more to think about<br>

Deadlines and commitments<br>

What to leave in, what to leave out<br>

<br>

Against the wind<br>

I'm still runnin' against the wind<br>

I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind<br>

Well I'm older now and still runnin'<br>

Against the wind<br>

Against the wind<br>

Against the wind<br>

<br>

Still runnin'<br>

I'm still runnin' against the wind<br>

I'm still runnin'<br>

I'm still runnin' against the wind<br>

Still runnin'<br>

Runnin' against the wind<br>

Runnin' against the wind<br>

See the young man run<br>

Watch the young man run<br>

Watch the young man runnin'<br>

He'll be runnin' against the wind<br>

Let the cowboys ride<br>

Let the cowboys ride<br>

They'll be ridin' against the wind<br>

Against the wind ...<br>

<br>
