It's a long and dusty roadIt'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 doing 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 wondering, 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 ringing through And I'm going out to see him some old day Chorus If you see me passing 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 Chorus
