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

rate me

It's a long and a dusty roadIt's a hot and a heavy loadAnd the folks that I meet ain't always kindSo are bad, some are goodSome have done the best they couldSome 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 boundI have wandered thru this landJust a doing the best I canTryin to find what I was meant to doAnd the people that I seeLook as worried as can beAnd it looks like they are a wondering tooI had a little girl one timeShe had lips like Sherry wineI loved her till my head went plumb insaneBut I was too blind to seeShe was drifting away from meAnd my good gal went off on the morning trainAnd I had a buddy back homeBut he started out to roamI hear he's out by Frisco BayAnd sometimes when I've had a fewHis old voice comes a ringing thruAnd I'm going out to see him some old dayIf you see me passing byAnd you sit and you wonder whyAnd if you wish that you were a rambling tooNail your shoes to the kitchen floorLace them up and bar the doorThank your stars for the roof that's over you
