 It's  a long and dusty road
 It's a  hot and heavy  load
   /  /  /  lick1
 And the folks I meet ain't always kind
 Some are bad  and some are good’n
 Some have done  the best  they could
   /  /  /  lick2
 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
