Bob Seger vs. The Highwaymen



Against The Wind
Bob Seger
It seems likeyesterday
But it was long ago
Janie was lovely
She was the queenof my nights
There in thedarkness
With the radio
Playin’ low and
The secrets that weshared
The mountains thatwe moved
Caught like awildfire out of control
‘Til there wasnothing left to burn
And nothing left toprove
And I remember whatshe said to me
How she swore thatit never would end
I remember how sheheld me
Oh so tight
Wish I didn’t knownow
What I didn’t knowthen

Against the wind
We were runnin’against the wind
We were young andstrong
We were runnin’ againstthe wind

The years rolledslowly past
And I found myselfalone
Surrounded bystrangers
I thought were myfriends
I found myself furtherand further
From my home and I
Guess I lost my way
There were oh somany roads
I was livin’ to run
And runnin’ to live
Never worried aboutpayin’
Or even how much Iowed
Movin’ eight milesa minute
For months at atime
Breakin’ all of therules that would bend
I began to findmyself searchin’
Searchin’ forshelter
Again and again

Against the wind
A little somethin’against the wind
I found myselfseekin’ shelter
Against the wind

Well thosedrifter’s days are past me now
I’ve got so muchmore to think about
Deadlines andcommitments
What to leave in
What to leave out

Against the wind
I’m still runnin’against the wind
I’m older now butstill runnin’
Against the wind
Well I’m older now
And still runnin’
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Still runnin’
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’against the wind
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’against the wind
Against the wind
Still runnin’
Against the wind
Runnin’ against thewind
Runnin’ against thewind
Against the wind
See the young manrun
Against the wind
Watch the young manrun
Against the wind
Watch the young manrunnin’
Against the wind
He’ll be runnin’against the wind
Against the wind
Let the cowboysride
Against the wind
Against the wind
Let the cowboysride
Against the wind
They’ll be ridin’against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Ridin’ against thewind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Ride
Ride
Ride
Ride

TFT: The Highwaymen


Not every song thatwill be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian”in the eyes of this world.  For some willbe anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviouslyferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (inone way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear themessage.


Highwayman
The Highwaymen
I was a highwayman
Along the coachroads I did ride
With sword andpistol by my side
Many a young maidlost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shedhis lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hungme in the spring of twenty-five
But I am stillalive

I was a sailor
I was born upon thetide
And with the sea Idid abide
I sailed a schooneraround the Horn of Mexico
I went aloft andfurled the mainsail in a blow
And when the yardsbroke off they said that I got killed
But I am livingstill

I was a dam builder
Across the riverdeep and wide
Where steel andwater did collide
A place calledBoulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fellinto the wet concrete below
They buried me inthat great tomb that knows no sound
But I am stillaround
I’ll always bearound
And around
And around
And around
And around

I fly a starship
Across the universedivide
And when I reachthe other side
I’ll find a placeto rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I maybecome a highwayman again
Or I may simply bea single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I’ll be backagain
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again


Born and Raised in Black and White
The Highwaymen
The wind blows hard
Across the Texasplains
Makes some people
Go insane
While othersquietly
Pray for rain
That’s where wecame from

Two boys playin’ inthe burnin’ sun
One with books
One with guns
Mama calls
But just one comes
The other one runs

In a crystal sense
Of wrong and right
We were born andraised
In black and white
One learned to pray
One learned tofight
We were born andraised
In black and white
We were born andraised
In black and white

Brother took to theGospel road
Spent his wholelife savin’ souls
When he looked atme
His blood ran cold
He didn’t even try

I had no dreams
I had no plans
But a gun felt good
In my right hand
The warden asked
How come you killedthat man
I said I don’t knowwhy

Welcome home
Said the hotmoonlight
We were born andraised
In black and white
One lives to pray
One prays for life
We were born andraised
In black and white
We were born andraised
In black and white

Someone handed me acigarette
They offered me mylast request
I asked my mortalsoul be blessed
By someone close tome

He came to me withtremblin’ hands
He swore he’d neverunderstand
I said it’s justwhat life had planned
It’s destiny

Don’t waste yourtears
On me tonight
We were born andraised
In black and white
I chose the dark
You chased theLight
We were born andraised
In black and white
We were born andraised
In black and white

The wind blows hard
Across the Texasplains
Makes some people
Go insane
While othersquietly
Pray for rain
