Written by Stanley Lebowsky and Herb Newman
(G) In a lonely shack by a railroad track, He spent his younger days. And I guess the sound of the outward bound, (D7) made him a slave to his wandering (G) ways. Repeat Chorus (G) Oh, I met him there in a border town. He vowed we'd never part. Though he tried his best to settle down, (D7) I'm now alone with a broken (G) heart. Repeat Chorus.(G) Oh, the wayward wind is a restless (C) wind, (Cm) a restless (G) wind that yearns to (D7) wander. And he was (G7) born the next of (C) kin, (Cm) The next of (G) kin (D7) to the (C)wayward (G) wind.
