The wayward wind is a restless wind a restless wind that yearns to wonder 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... Oh I met her there in a border town she 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... Mhmm the wayward wind mhm the wayward wind
