ATF: Seeking Shelter

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to make.  I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Against The Wind

Bob Seger

Seems like yesterday

But it was long ago

Janey was lovely

She was the queen of my nights

There in darkness

With the radio

Playin’ low

And the secrets that we shared

The mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control

“Til there was nothin’ left to burn

And nothin’ 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

But just runnin’

Against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past

And I found myself alone

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends

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 worried about payin’

Or even how much I owe

Movin' eight miles a minute

And for months at a time

Breakin’ all of the rules that I could bend

I began to find myself searchin’

Searchin’ for shelter

Again and again

Against the wind

Little somethin’ against the wind

I found myself seekin’ shelter

Against the wind

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 wind

I'm still runnin’ against the wind

I'm older now

But still runnin’

Against the wind

Well I'm older now

But still runnin’

Against the wind

Against the wind

Against the wind

I’m still runnin’

Against the wind

I’m still runnin’ against the wind

Against the wind

Watch the young man runnin’

Against the wind

Watch the young man run

Against the wind

Watch the young man runnin’

Against the wind

I’ve been runnin’ against the wind

Against the wind

Lt the cowboys ride

Against the wind…
