And I always say it's human nature that people are gonna love you sometimes and they're gonna use you sometimes. Knowing the difference between when people are using you and when people truly care about you, that's what 'Against the Wind' is all about. The people in that song have weathered the storm, and it's made them much better that they've been able to do it and maintain whatever relationship. To get through is a real victory."<br /><br />-- from "The Fire This Time," Timothy White, May 1, 1980, Rolling Stone, via </span><a href="http://www.segerfile.com"><span style="font-family:arial;">segerfile.com</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Words and music by Bob Seger<br /><br /></span><em><span style="font-family:arial;">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 playlng low<br />And the secrets that we shared<br />The mountains that we moved<br />Caught like a wildfire out of control<br />Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove<br /><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 />And the years rolled slowly past<br />And I found myself alone<br />Surrounded bv 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 worried 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 searchin'<br />Searching for shelter again and again<br />Against the wind<br />A little something against the wind<br />I found myself seeking shelter against the wind<br /><br />Well those drifters days are past me now<br />I've got so much more to think about<br /><strong>Deadlines and commitments</strong><br /><strong>What to leave in, what to leave out</strong><br /><br />Against the wind<br />I'm still runnin' against the wind<br />Well I'm older now and still<br />Against the wind</span></em>dbbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04698783676087070487noreply@blogger.com
