Meat Puppets - The Wayward Wind Lyrics

Meat Puppets Lyrics

"The Wayward Wind"
(originally by Patsy Cline)

In a lonesome tag 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

Well, I met her down in a border town
I swore, it won my heart
Though we tried our best to settle down
Now she's far away 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

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
Thanks a lot
Thanks to Joey
We appreciate that
It always sounds good to us here
You know we've never had that sort of a luxury
And we do appreciate it
