        F
In the lonely shack by the railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
            C                    F
Made me a slave to my wanderin' ways

Chorus:
                                   A#
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
            F                   C
A restless wind that yearns to wander
           F                A#  A#m
And I was born the next of kin
             F C                F
The next of kin to the wayward wind

Oh, I met him down
in the border town
He vowed we'd never part
Though he tried his best to settle down
Now I'm all alone with a broken heart

Chorus - x2

             F C                F
The next of kin to the wayward wind
