"Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound" lyrics

It's a hot and dusty road
A hard and a heavy load
And the people that I meet ain't always kind
Some are bad, some are good
Some have done the best they could
Some have tried to ease my troublin' 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 have travelled this whole land
I have done the best I can
Tryin' to find what I was meant to do
And the faces that I see
Look as worried as can be
And it seems like they are wonderin' 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

I had a little girl one time
She had lips like cherry wine
And she loved me 'til my mind went plum insane
But I was too blind to see
She was driftin' away from me
And she left one day on the 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

I had a buddy way back home
But he started out to roam
And I believe he's down by 'Frisco bay
And sometimes when I've had a few
His voice comes ringin' through
And I'm going back to see him some ole 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

Hey if you see me passin' by
And you stop and wonder why
And you think you'd like to be a rambler too
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
Take the key and lock the door
Thank the 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
