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
Oh 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
i'm now alone
with a broken heart
Oh the wayward wind...
the wayward wind...
the wayward wind...
the wayward wind...
