[Intro]
C D G Em C D G
[Verse 1]
G
It's a long and dusty road
C Am
And it's a hot and heavy load
D G
And the folks I meet ain't always kind
G
Some are bad and some are good
C Am
And some have done the best they could
D G
Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind
[Chorus]
C D G
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Em
Where I'm bound
C D G
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
[Verse 2]
G
I've been wandering through this land
C Am
Just a-doin' the best I can
D G
And tryin' to find what I was meant to do
G
And the people that I see
C Am
Look as worried as can be
D G
And it looks like they are wonderin', too
[Chorus]
C D G
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Em
Where I'm bound
C D G
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
[Guitar Solo]
G C Am D G
C Am D G
[Verse 3]
G
Now I had me a buddy back home
C Am
And he started out to roam
D G
I hear he's out by the Frisco Bay
G
And sometimes when I've had a few
C Am
His old voice comes ringin' through
D G
And I'm goin' out to see him some day
[Chorus]
C D G
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
Em
Where I'm bound
C D G
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
[Verse 4]
G
Well, if you see me passin' by
C Am
And you sit and you wonder why
D G
And you wish that you were a rambler, too
G
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor
C Am
Just lace them up and bar the door
D G
And thank your stars for the roof that's over you
[Chorus]
C D G Em
Because I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
C D G
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
C D G Em
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
C D G
I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
[Outro]
C D G Em C D G
