Neil Young Miscellaneous 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.
