Chorus:
Oh, The Wayward Wind, Is a restless wind,
A restless wind, That yearns to wander;
And I was born the next of kin,
The next of kin, To The Wayward Wind.
 
First Verse:
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 his wandrin' ways.
 
Second Verse:
Oh I met him there in a border town,  He vowed we'd never part,
'Tho he tried his best to settle down, I'm now alone,
With a brokin heart.
