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 railroad track
I spent my younger days

And I guess the sound
Of the outward bound
Made me a slave
To my wandering ways

And 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

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
The next of kin
To the wayward wind
The next of kin

To the wayward wind
