[Verse 1]
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

[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'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

[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 3]
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
[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 4]
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

[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
