Tom Paxton - I Can't Help but Wonder Where I’m Bound lyrics
[Tom Paxton - I Can't Help but Wonder Where I’m Bound lyrics]
It's a long and a dusty road
A hard 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
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
I've been wanderin' through this land
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
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Now, I had a little girl one time
She had lips like sherry wine
And she loved me 'til 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 mornin' train
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
And I had 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 a-ringin' through
And I'm goin' out to see him some old day
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
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
A hard 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
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
I've been wanderin' through this land
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
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Now, I had a little girl one time
She had lips like sherry wine
And she loved me 'til 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 mornin' train
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
And I had 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 a-ringin' through
And I'm goin' out to see him some old day
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
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Where I'm bound
Can't help but wonder where I'm bound
