The Wayward Wind

(Herb Newman - Stan Lebowski)



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...
