Original lyrics
ENChorus:
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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
The next of kin to the wayward wind
