Lyrics: The Wayward Wind
Album: Old Ways
Artist: Neil Young
 

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

And 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.

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.

And 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.

And 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.

The next of kin to the wayward wind.
