the wayward wind

, oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind that yearns to wander, and he was born the next of kin, the next of kin to the wayward wind, in a lonely shack by a railroad track, he spent his younger days, and i guess the sound of the outward bound, made him a slave to his wand'rin' ways, oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind that yearns to wander, and he was born the next of kin, the next of kin to the wayward wind, oh, i met him there in a border town, he vowed we'd never part, tho' he tried his best to settle down, now i'm alone with a broken heart, oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind, a restless wind that yearns to wander, and he was born the next of kin, the next of kin to the wayward wind, the next of kin to the wayward wind.
