Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's a long and a dusty road

A hot and a heavy load

And the folks that I meet ain't always kind

Some are bad, some are good

Some have done the best they could

And some have tried to ease my troubled mind

[Verse 2]

And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound

Can't help but wonder where I'm bound

[Verse 3]

I've been wandering through this land

Just doing 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 wandering too

[Verse 4]

And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound

Can't help but wonder where I'm bound

[Verse 5]

Well, I had a little girl one time

She had lips like sherry wine

And she loved me till my head went plum insane

But I was too blind to see

She was drifting away from me

And my good gal went off on a morning train

[Verse 6]

And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound

Can't help but wonder where I'm bound

[Verse 7]

If you see me passing by

And you sit and you wonder why

And you wish that you were rambling 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

[Verse 8]

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 can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound

Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
