It's a long and dusty road
A hot and a heavy load
And the folks I meet aren't always kind
Some are bad and 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 wandering 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

We, I had a little girl one time
She had lips like sherry wine
And she loved me until 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 you wonder why
And you wish that you were rambling too
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
Lace them up and bar the door
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
