The Wayward Wind

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 in my wanderin' 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 her there in a Border Town
We vowed we'd never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
I'm 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.
