[Jennings:]
It seems like yesterday, but it was a long time ago.
Sepertinya baru kemarin, tapi itu sudah lama sekali.

She was lovely, she was the queen of our nights.
Dia cantik, dia adalah ratu malam-malam kita.

There in the darkness with the radio playin' low.
Di dalam kegelapan dengan radio yang diputar pelan.

The secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved,
Rahasia yang kita bagi, tantangan yang kita hadapi,

Caught like a wild fire out of control,
Terbakar seperti api liar yang tak terkendali,

There was nothin' left to burn and nothin' left to prove.
Tak ada yang tersisa untuk dibakar dan tak ada yang perlu dibuktikan.

[Cash:]
And I remember what she said to me, how she swore that it would never end.
Dan aku ingat apa yang dia katakan padaku, bagaimana dia bersumpah bahwa ini takkan pernah berakhir.

I remember how she held me, oh, so tight.
Aku ingat bagaimana dia memelukku, oh, begitu erat.

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
Seandainya aku tidak tahu sekarang apa yang tidak aku ketahui saat itu.

[All 3:]
Against the wind,
Melawan angin,

We were runnin' against the wind.
Kita berlari melawan angin.

We were young and strong but just runnin'
Kita muda dan kuat, tapi hanya berlari

Against the wind.
Melawan angin.

[Nelson:]
The years rolled slowly past, I found myself alone,
Tahun-tahun berlalu perlahan, aku mendapati diriku sendirian,

Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends.
Dikelilingi oleh orang asing yang kupikir adalah teman-temanku.

I found myself further and further from my home.
Aku semakin jauh dari rumahku.

I guess I lost my way, there were, oh, so many roads.
Kurasa aku tersesat, ada begitu banyak jalan.

I was livin' to run and runnin' to live.
Aku hidup untuk berlari dan berlari untuk hidup.

Never worryin' about payin' or how much I owed.
Tak pernah khawatir tentang membayar atau berapa banyak yang aku hutangi.

Movin' eight miles a minute for months at a time,
Melaju delapan mil per menit selama berbulan-bulan,

Breakin' all of the rules I could bend.
Melanggar semua aturan yang bisa kutekuk.

I began to find myself searchin' for shelter again and again.
Aku mulai mencari tempat berlindung lagi dan lagi.

[All 3:]
Against the wind,
Melawan angin,

We were runnin' against the wind.
Kita berlari melawan angin.

I found myself seekin' shelter
Aku mendapati diriku mencari perlindungan

Against the wind.
Melawan angin.

[Nelson:]
All those drifter's days are passed me now.
Semua hari-hari pengembara itu kini telah berlalu.

I've got so much more to think about.
Aku punya begitu banyak hal yang harus dipikirkan.

[Cash:]
Deadlines and commitments,
Batas waktu dan komitmen,

What to leave in, what to leave out.
Apa yang harus disimpan, apa yang harus ditinggalkan.

[All 3:]
Against the wind,
Melawan angin,

We were runnin' against the wind.
Kita berlari melawan angin.

We found ourselves seekin' shelter,
Kita mendapati diri kita mencari perlindungan,

Against the wind.
Melawan angin.

Against the wind.
Melawan angin.

Against the wind.
Melawan angin.

[Fade.]
[Pudar.]

Against the wind.
Melawan angin.
