Wayward Wind Lyrics by Neil Young
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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.
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.
