Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 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

 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 wandering through this land

 Just doin' the best I can

Trying 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 wanderin' 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

(instrumental)

 But I had a little girl one time

 She had lips like cherry wine

 And she loved me, till my head went plum insane

But I was, too blind to see

 She was driftin' away from me

 And my good girl went off on a midnight 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

(instrumental)

 If you see me passin' by

 And you sit and you wonder why

 And you wish that you were rambling 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

 I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound

Can't help but wonder where I'm bound.
