Capo 2 [Verse 1] 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 and some are good Some have done the best they could Some have tried to ease my troublin’ mind [Chorus] And I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound where I’m bound;   can’t help but wonder where I’m bound [Verse 2] I have wandered through this land just a-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 a-wonderin’ too [Chorus] So I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound where I’m bound;   can’t help but wonder where I’m bound               [Verse 3] Oh I had a little girl one time she had lips like a sherry wine and she loved me til my head went plumb insane But I was too blind to see she was driftin’ away from me and my good gal went off on the mornin train [Chorus] Now I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound where I’m bound;   can’t help but wonder where I’m bound [Verse 4] If you see me passin’ by and you stop and you 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 your stars for the roof that’s over you [Chorus] ’cause I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound               [Verse 5] 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 singin’ through And I’m goin’ out to see him some old day. [Chorus] ’cause I can’t help but wonder where I’m bound where I’m bound; can’t help but wonder where I’m bound [Outro]
