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 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
