C F - C F C G
It's a long and dusty road, and a hot and a heavy load
C F C G
And the folks that I meet ain't always kind
C F - C F C G
Some are bad and some are good, some have done the best they could
C F C - G C
Some have tried to ease my troubled mind
REFRAIN:
F C G C Em Am
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound, where I'm bound
F Em Dm C
No I can't help but wonder where I'm bound
I've been around this land, just doing the best I can
Trying to find what I was meant to do
And the faces that I see, look as worried as can be
And it looks like they're a-wondering too
REFRAIN:
Though I had a little girl one time, she had lips like sherry wine
She drove my poor head plumb insane
But I was too blind to see, she was drifting away from me
Now my girl is gone on the morning train
REFRAIN:
I had a buddy back home, and he started out to roam
And I hear that he's out by 'Frisco Bay
Sometimes when I've had a few, his old voice comes rumbling through
I guess I'll go and see him some old day
REFRAIN:
If you see me passing by, and you sit and you wonder why
And you think you'd like to be a rambler too
Nail your shoes to the kitchen floor, lace them up and bar the door
Thank your stars for the roof that's over you
REFRAIN: 2x
