Tom Paxton - Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound lyrics

It's a long and a dusty road It's a hot and a heavy load And the folks 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 troubled mind And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound Where I'm bound And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound I have wandered thru this land Just a doing 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 wondering, too I had a little girl one time She had lips like Sherry wine I loved her till 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 And I had a buddy back home But he started out to roam I hear he's out by Frisco Bay And sometimes when I've had a few His old voice comes a ringing thru And I'm going out to see him some old day If you see me pa**ing by And you sit and you wonder why And if you wish that you were a 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
