can't help but wonder where i'm bound

it's a long and dusty road

it's a hot and a heavy load

and 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 troubled 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 wanderin' through this land just a-doin' the best i can

tryin' 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 wonderin' too

we

i had a little girl one time

she had lips like sherry wine

and she loved me till my head went plumb insane

but i was too blind to see she was driftin' away from me

and my good gal went off on the morning train

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

and i can't help but wonder

where i'm bound

where i'm bound

can't help but wonder where i'm bound
