Lyrics

I don't know where I'm bound, I don't know where I'm bound
Whistles calling me away, leaving at the break of day
And I don't know where I'm bound

Can't stand locks, bars, doors
Mean cops, insanity, and wars;
Gotta find a place of peace
Until then, my traveling won't cease
But I don't know where I'm bound

There's gotta be a place for me
Under some green growing tree;
With clear cool water running by
An unfettered view of the sky
But I don't know where I'm bound

When I die, don't bury me
Cause then I must be free;
Cremate my body with a grin
Throw my ashes to the wind
Cause I don't know where I'm bound

I don't know where I'm bound, I don't know where I'm bound
Whistles calling me away, leaving at the break of day
And I don't know where I'm bound

Got myself a little gal
She has been a downright pal;
That old highway's calling me
And free I gotta be
But I don't know where I'm bound, I don't know where I'm bound

I don't know where I'm bound
