The Wayward Wind Lyrics - Connie Smith

THE WAYWARD WIND 

Writers Herb Newman, Stan Lebowsky 

(Chorus) 

Oh, 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 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Oh, I met him there in a border town 

He vowed we'd never part 

Tho' he tried his best to settle down 

Now I'm alone with a broken heart 

(Repeat Chorus) 

The next of kin to the wayward wind
