I Can't Help But Wonder (Where I'm Bound)

It's a long and a dusty road, a hot, and a heavy load

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 troubling 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 his land, 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

Now I had a little girl one time, she had lips like Cherry wine

And she loved me 'til 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 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

And I had a buddy way 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 ringing 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

Well, if you see me passing by and you sit and wonder why

And you wished that you were a rambler too

Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace 'em up and bar the door

And 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
