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
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 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
Because 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
