Oh 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 rail road track
I spent my
younger days
And I guess the sound
of the outward bound
Made me a slave...
to my
wandering ways
Oh the wayward wind
is a restless wind
A restless wind
that yearns to wander
And I was born
the next of kin
I'm the next of kin
to the wayward wind
Oh I met a girl
in a border town
I vowed
we'd never part
Though I tried
my best
to settle down
She's now alone,
with a broken heart
And the wayward wind
is a restless wind
A restless wind
that yearns to wander
And I was born
the next of kin
I'm the next of kin
to the wayward wind
I'm the next of kin
to the wayward wind
The next of kin
to the wayward wind
I'm the next of kin
to the wayward wind
