Lyrics:
It's a long and a dusty road, it's a hot and a heavy load,
And the folks that I meet aren't always kind.
Some are bad and some are good, some have done the best they could,
Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind.

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

Well, I've been around this land, just doing 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,
It looks like they are wondering too.

CHORUS

Well, I had a gal 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 drifting away from me,
And one day she left on the morning train.

CHORUS

Well I had a buddy from home, but he started out to roam,
And I hear now he's out by Frisco bay.
And sometimes when I've had a few, his old voice comes ringing through,
I'm goin' out to see him some old day.

CHORUS

If you see me passin' by and you sit and wonder why,
And you think maybe you'd like to ramble too,
Just nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace 'em up and bar the door
And thank the stars for the roof that's over you.

CHORUS

No, I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound.
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound.
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound,
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound."
