Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound

(Tom Paxton) It's a long and dusty road It's a hot and heavy load And the folks I meet ain't always kind Some are bad and some are good Some have done the best they could Some have tried to ease my trouble in 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 doin' 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 wonderin', too Chorus And I had me a buddy back home But he started out to roam And I hear he's out by 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 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 Lace 'em up and bar the door Thank the stars for the roof that's over you
