It's a long and a dusty road It's a hard and a heavy load And the folks we meet ain't always kind Some are bad and some are good Some have done the best they could Some have tried to ease our 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 traveled across this land Just a doin' the best I can Tryin' to find what I was meant to do And the faces that I see Are as worried as can be Looks like they've been 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 buddy, way back home But he started out to roam
And I hear that he's out by Monterey And sometimes, when I've had a few His 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 Can't help but wonder where I'm bound If you see us pa**in' by And you sit and you wonder why And you wish that you were a rambler too Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor Lace 'em up, 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 Can't help but wonder where I'm bound And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
