It's a long and a dusty road, it's a hot and a heavy load<br />
Folks I meet, they aren't always kind<br />
Some are bad, some are good, some just do the best they could<br />
Some have tried to ease my troubled mind<br />
<br />
And I can't help but wonder<br />
Where I'm bound, where I'm bound<br />
Can't help but wonder<br />
Where I'm bound<br />
<br />
I had a friend from home, he started out to roam<br />
I hear that he's out by Frisco bay<br />
Sometimes when I drink a few, his voice comes singing through<br />
I’m goin' out there, gonna see him some old day<br />
<br />
And I can't help but wonder<br />
Where I'm bound, where I'm bound<br />
Can't help but wonder<br />
Where I'm bound<br />
<br />
I had a girl one time, she had lips like sherry wine<br />
I believe that I loved her to my soul<br />
But I was too blind to see, she was driftin' away from me<br />
One day she left me out in the cold<br />
<br />
And I can't help but wonder<br />
Where I'm bound, where I'm bound<br />
I can't help but wonder<br />
Where I'm bound
