(Stan Lebowsky and Herb Newman)
|
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
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
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
|
A restless wind that yearns to wander
|
And he was born the next of kin
|
The next of kin to the wayward wind
|
|
The next of kin to the wayward wind
|
