Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound
Written by Tom Paxton
_____________________________________________________________________________
Capo 2nd fret (sounding A major)
_____________________________________________________________________________
IGt's a long and dusty road
              C/     B  Am  
It's a hot and heavy load
                   D/    C/ B/   A      Glick#1
And the folks I meet ain't always kind
Some are Gbad and some are good’n
                  C/         B        Am  
Some have done the best they could
                       D/      C/ B/  A     Glick#2
Some have tried to ease my trouble in mind
And I Ccan't help but Dwonder where I'm Gbound, where I'm EmboundC  
can't help but wDonder where I'm bGound 
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 wand’rin’ too
But I had me a buddy back home
And he started off to roam
Now he’s out, gone to Frisco Bay
And sometimes when I've had a few
His old voice comes ringin' through
And yes I'm goin' out to see him some old day
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
Lick#1                         DLick#2     G
