Wayward Wind Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

Oh, 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 a girl in a border town 

I 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. 

The next of kin to the wayward wind
