The lyrics capture the essence of this restless spirit, describing it as being born the next of kin to the wayward wind. In the verses, the song paints a vivid picture of a man’s life spent in a lonely shack by a railroad track.
On his journeys he falls in love and attempts to settle down and lead a normal life, but the urge to wander is too strong. The phrase "Next of kin", which is a colloquialism meaning the person's closest living relative, may suggest that the wandering man has no family or connection and will perhaps wander his entire life.
The protagonist of the song is identified as the “next of kin” to this wayward wind, implying that they share a similar trait of restlessness and a desire for freedom. The first verse tells the story of a man who grew up in a humble abode near a railroad track.
