It's a long and dusty road

It's a hot and heavy load

And 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 trouble in mind

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

I've been wandering through this land

Just doin' the best I can

Tryin' 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 wonderin' too

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 had me 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 goin' out to see him some old day

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

If you see me passin' by

And you sit and wonder why

And you wish that you were a rambler too

Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor

Lace 'em up and bar the 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

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
