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

"It's a long and a dusty road, it's a hot and a heavy

load,

And the folks I meet ain't always kind.

Some are bad, 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,

I can't help but wonder where I'm bound.

Well, I've been around this land, just a-doin' the best

I can,

Tryin' to find what I was meant to do,

And the faces that I see look as worried as can be,

And it looks like they are a-wonderin' too.

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.

Well, I had a little girl one time, she had lips like

sherry 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 a morning train.

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 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

singin' 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,

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,

I can't help but wonder where I'm bound."
