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.
[chorus:]
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound.

Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
Well, I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

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.
[chorus:]
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 passin' 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.
[chorus:]
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound.

Quote of the day

Look in the mirror. The face that pins you with its double gaze reveals a chastening secret. You are looking into a predator's eyes. Most predators have eyes set right on the front of their heads, so they can use binocular vision to sight and track their prey.
Diane Ackerman
