Oh, the wayward wind, yeah, 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, in a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
But I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wandering ways

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

Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born thе next of kin
The next of kin to thе wayward wind
