I never stop in one place long till life starts closin' in Then a night wind beckons and I'll go running with the wind Well I grew up an orphan boy no one to call my own Deserted by my family never felt that I belong So I went running with the wind to hell and back again From north to south east to west running with the wind I loved a little girl one time but I didn't love her long Late one night a wind came up and with the morning I was gone I never tell them where I'm going they don't know where I've been They only know I was here and gone running with the wind Well a high wind brought me to this town I'll leave here with a breeze You never know how the wind will blow and I'll scatter like the leaves I never stop in one place long till life start's closin' in Then a night wind beckons and I'll go running with the wind I never stop in one place long till life start's closin' in Then a night wind beckons and I'll go running with the wind I keep running with the wind I'm running with the wind
