It's a long and a dusty road, a hot and heavy load And the folks that I meet aren't always kind. Some are bad, some are good, some have done the best they could And 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 wondering through this land just 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 Well, I had a little girl one time She had lips like cherry 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 my good gal went off 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 If you see me passing by and you sit and wonder why And you wish that you were rambling too Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace them up, and bar the door And 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
