Wayward Wind Lyrics - Wilburn Brothers

The wayward wind is a restless wind 

A restless wind that yearns to wonder 

And I was born the next of kin 

The next of kin to the wayward wind 

In a lonely shack by a railroad track 

I spent my younger days 

And I guess, the sound of the outward bound 

Made me a slave to my wandering ways 

And the wayward wind is a restless wind 

A restless wind that yearns to wonder 

And I was born the next of kin 

The next of kin to the wayward wind 

Oh, I met her there in a border town 

She vowed, we'd never part 

Though I tried my best to settle down 

She's now alone with a broken heart 

And the wayward wind is a restless wind 

A restless wind that yearns to wonder 

And I was born the next of kin 

The next of kin to the wayward wind 

Hmm, the wayward wind 

Hmm, the wayward wind
