One of my favorite songs. Along with "Rexroth's Daughter". Also "Running on Empty by Jackson Browne. Growing up in the 1965 t0 1969 at UCLA, living on the beach in Venice, Ca. and SM near Tee's near station 17 - riding a Norton Commando - the whole works.
Now I am in Asia. Every day is out of the lyrics of "Along Comes Mary "and "Get Together by "The Youndbloods"." You hold the key to love and fear all in your trembling hand.Just one key unlocks them both - its there at your command."

MY YOUNGEST BROTHER WAYNE LOVED THIS SON. IT WAS INDEED OUR RIDING SONG FROM TULSA TO TALLAHASSEE. WE INHALED A LITTLE JOY ALONG THE WAY. HE CAUGHT A BULLET IN 89, DURING HIS LAYOVER FROM BIG RIG TRAINING. ME, I'M A LOT OLDER NOW, BUT NO LONGER RUNNING AGAINST THE WIND. BUT LORD, I SURE DO MISS IT.
this a wonderful song and those 2 who dilike them ada be ashamed its disguiting that they could dislike something so wonderful ! May waylon and johnny continue play on up there in the clouds.
This song brings back so many memories...riding around the dirt roads of East Texas hog huntin with my Papaw with the Highwaymen' Greatest Hits on repeat. I appreciate it not more than I did then.
Year's passing and we all slow goes... Without you dear guys all country never be a country. Rest in Peace Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash. Thanks for beautiful song's you made. I've will remember you. Song's with hart. Ante Žura with love.See ya in heaven.
Ohh Shuddup allready ye'ALL' so much advice, so litte wisdom. Put your money where your your mouth is. Mackin' millions sellin' records, tellin' us how to live Phuck you (and anyone that looks like you) Willie N You talk big and travel on a fancy bus. CHEAP TRICKS. (am I goin' over the top here.....you tell me) angry Wolf
Any song with Johnny Cash in is worth a listen his fellow artists are just as important in cultural terms its just he was my hero it do'nt make him better than the othersbut god I wish I could have seen them play together
the two people that disliked this video obviously sit at home listening to over produced shite like justin beiber and lady gaga, these guys could actually sing and write amazing songs.
@CHPGuy - I think it was EQUAL to Bob Segar, but you must admit Bob did a hell of a job! I have to say, despite how much I LOVE Johnny Cash, I firmly believe that Waylon should have sung this alone. This was more of a 'Waylon" sounding tune.
Best version of this song ever made. Legends. I recently became an NFL Draft Scout for Draft Debacled.com and I call my scouting ATW Scouting. Against The Wind Scouting after the Highwaymen version of this song. Love it.
Thx, QWZXM. Mebbe you know the music of Ian Tyson; he recorded with his wife as Ian & Sylvia, some very large while back. Like Kris, lots of other singers you would recognize recorded their songs. Guess some would call it cowboy music. That's OK, there's something true and real about it. Sorry, I slipped off into reality there for a minute. Blessings on you and all in your house.
@GaelicPrince1 NIce comments, Best to you and your family. Sorry,I missed these till now. Playing Against the Wind and some Neil Young on the tube.. Unreal-first time I caught him doing "Thrasher-N.Young-that's a beautiful song.Saw him live in concert 15 months ago.,
hay bros.I hit 40 today,i Just heard song by them its great,Most of all makes me think more about life and today.We all are truly running against the wind
I loved this song years ago when I was a brash young rock and roller, listening to Bob Seeger. Now as a 64 year old I appreciate the song more than ever, I loved the Highway Men. I guess now my running is slower as is the tempo of this song done by them, but I still am going against the wind!
I am about to hit 33 and find myself trying to keep up with the wind, but I'm slowing down. Life really sucks sometimes and if you have any wisdom for me I am all ears. These guys rock.
@jellet35 I don't know what your situation is but, take a step back.....slow down. When I was 33 I had 3 jobs so I could afford a new car and all the things I thought I deserved. That kind of thinking makes life pass you by. Take time to read a newspaper, to cook a decent breakfast, to sit beside a lake or river, buy a turntable and some vinyl records, just slow down. Download Sinatra's "Summer Wind" and listen to it by yourself.
Ewoldt has it right. I spent my 30's fighting to get to a place and now I am here I wish I had not bothered. Take it slow and make the best of every day. I hit 45 this year with my heart saying I am 24 and my body too beat up to play around with my kids.
Look after your health. At your age I did 12 or 16 hour shifts, 6 or 7 days a week for weeks at a time. Time would have been better spent with my kids. The oldest two lost me for near on 5 years. Trying to do better with the youngest.
Know what you mean Bobby it was my favourite song on a beautiful sunny Goa morning but have hear this fr the first time two minutes again know what you mean
a couple other songs of theres that you can just feel the power in are angels love bad men , highwayman , born and raised in black and white & committed to parkview
Haven't listened to the Highwaymen singing "Against the Wind" in quite awhile and forgot how great their interpretation is. Waylon's voice is just the stunning.
the highwaymen especially waylon singing this song it is so powerful and you can just feel it in every inch of your body all of the highwaymen songs you can feel it but this 1 especially and american remains
another great song by the highwaymen i love them and miss johnny and waylon. waylon jennings was the greatest outlaw and my favorite country singer of all time RIP waylon and johnny
Hell no Don t be afaird to think it s the greatest. In some ways it was better than the original. But come on Dude it was so unfair. 4 greats against 1. Almost like running against the wind.
Damn what a great version of this song. Bob Seagar should be proud. The Silver Bullet album was one of the best. This song was from that release and went to #1 I think. But it was in the top 5 for sure.
yeah real coutry music I feel like I can run over lots of mountains with the force that this song gives to me like I can do anything with the power that comes from this song. That is great Thank´s highwaymen
I love it.
