It's a hot and dusty road
A hard and a heavy load
And the people that 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 troublin' 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 have travelled this whole land
I have done 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 seems like they are wonderin' 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
I had a little girl one time
She had lips like cherry wine
And she loved me 'til my mind went plum insane
But I was too blind to see
She was driftin' away from me
And she left one day 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
I had a buddy way back home
But he started out to roam
And I believe he's down by 'Frisco bay
And sometimes when I've had a few
His voice comes ringin' through
And I'm going back to see him some ole 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
