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.

And 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
Though he tried his best to settle down
I'm now alone with a broken heart

And the wayward wind
is a restless wind...
