Cant Help But Wonder Where Im Bound by Nanci Griffith Lyrics

It's a long and dusty road
And it's a hot and heavy load
And the folks I meet ain't always kind
Some are bad and some are good
And some have done the best they could
Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind

Chorus
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 a-doin' the best I can
And 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

Chorus
Now I had me a buddy back home
But he started out to roam
And I hear he's out by the 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

Chorus

Well, 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
Just lace them up and bar the door
And thank your 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
