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.
