I Can't Help but Wonder Where I'm Bound Songtext

von Tom Paxton

It's a long and a dusty road
A hot and a heavy load
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 troubling mind

Ref.:
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 thru this land
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

Ref

Now I had a little girl one time
She had lips like Sherry wine
And she loved me til 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

Ref

And I had a buddy back home
But he started out to roam
And I hear he's up 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

Ref

Well If you see me passing by
And you sit and you wonder why
And you wish that you were a rambling too
Nail your shoes to the citchen floor
Lay some up and by the door
Thank your stars for the roof that's over you
