It's a long and dusty road
It's a hot and heavy load
And the folks I meet ain't always kind
Some are bad and some are good’n
Some have done the best they could
Some have tried to ease my troublin mind
Chorus:
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
can't help but wonder where I'm bound
I've been wandering through this land
Just doin' the best I can
Trying to find what I was meant to do
And the people that I see
Look as worried as can be
And it looks like they are wand’rin’ too
Chorus:
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Oh I had a little gal one time
She had lips like cherry wine
And she loved me till my head went plumb insane
But I was too blind to see
She was driftin a way from me
And my good gal went off on the morning train
Chorus:
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
can't help but wonder where I'm bound
But I had me a buddy back home
And he started off to roam
Now he’s out, gone to Frisco Bay
Sometimes when I've had a few
His voice comes ringin' through
And I'm goin' out to see him some old day
Chorus:
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
can't help but wonder where I'm bound
If you see me passin' by
And you sit and you wonder why
And you wish that you were a rambler, too
nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
Lace'em up and bar the door
Thank your stars for the roof that's over you
Chorus: 2X
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
can't help but wonder where I'm bound
