Lyrics :

Oh, the wayward wind
Is the restless wind
A restless wind
That yearns to wanders
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin
To the wayward wind

In a lonely shack, by the railroad track
I spend 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 the restless wind
That yearns to wanders
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin
To the wayward wind

Guitar break

Oh, the wayward wind
Is the restless wind
That yearns to wanders
And I was born, the next of kin
The next of kin
To the wayward wind.
