* The wayward wind is a restless wind A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward-bound Made me a sla...ve to my wand'rin ways
Oh I met a girl in a border town I vowed we'd never part
Though I'm tried my best to settle down She's now alo...ne with a broken heart
And The wayward wind is a restless wind A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was bo...rn the next of kin Ahhh The next of kin to the wayward wind
Ahhh The next of kin to the wayward wind
Ahhh The next of kin to the wayward wind
Ahhh The next of kin to the wayward wind
