It's a long and dusty road It's a hard and heavy load And the folks aren't in it 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
And I had a buddy back home But he started out to roam And I hear he's out by Frisco Bay And sometimes when I've had a few His old voice comes ringin' through And I'm going out to see him some old 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
And I had a little girl one time Lips like cherry wine And I loved her more than I could say But I was too blind to see She was slipping away from me And one day she left on a 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 stop and wonder why And you wish you was a rambler too Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor Lace 'em up and lock 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
