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

It's a long and a dusty road, a hot and a heavy load The folks 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've been wanderin' through this land, 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 Can't help but wonder where I'm bound Now I had a little girl one time, she had lips like sherry wine And she loved me till my head went plumb insane But I was too blind to see she was driftin' away from me And my good gal went off on a 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 And I had a buddy way 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 a-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 Can't help but wonder where I'm bound Well, if you see me 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 and bar the door Thank your 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
