I Can't Help but Wonder Where I'm Bound

It's a long and a dusty road, a hot, and a heavy load
The folks I meet ain't always kind
Some are bad and some are good
Some have done the best they could
Some have tried to ease my troubling mind

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 wondering through his land, 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 wondering too

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

Now I had a little girl one time, she had lips like Cherry wine
And she loved me 'til my head went plumb insane
But I was too blind to see she was drifting away from me
And my good gal went off on a morning train

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

And I had a buddy way back home, but he started out to roam
And I hear he's out by Frisco Bay
And sometimes when I've had a few, his old voice comes ringing through
And I'm going out to see him some old day

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

Well, if you see me passing by and you sit and wonder why
And you wished that you were a rambler too
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace 'em up and bar the door
And thank your stars for the roof that's over you

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