Wanderer

Recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio

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, some are good
Some have done the best they could
Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind. 
Chorus
And I can't help but wonder where I'm bound,
where I'm bound, no I can't help but wonder where I'm bound.
 I have been around this land
just a doin' the best I can,
Tryin' to find what I was meant to do
And the faces that I see
are as worried as can be
and they look like they are a wandererin' too.
Chorus
I had a buddy way back home
and he started out to roam
and I hear he's out by Frisco bay
and sometimes when I've had a few, 
his voice comes singing through
And I'm goin' out to see him some old day
Chorus
If you see me passing by
and you sit and 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
And thank the stars for the roof that's over you.

Chorus (2x)
