See that sun set down
Don't leave the avenue
See that boy walk into town
Watch him leave on through

I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind
I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind

Every city I found
Every place that I get
Tries to blow me around
They ain't blown me down yet
I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind

Call that boy by his name
Smile as he turns and he waves
Don't you shed a tear
As he walks away from here
He didn't come, but he ain't known to stay

I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind
I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind

Every city I found
Every place that I get
Tries to blow me around
They ain't blown me down yet
I've been runnin', I've been duckin', I've been dodgin' the wind
By the window, look at the moon
Winter is coming on soon
When you think of the kid
Who left when he did
He too will be thinking of you

I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind
I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind

Every city that I've found
Every place that I get
Tries to blow me around
They ain't blown me down yet
I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind
I've been runnin', been duckin', been dodgin' the wind
