A5
I don't know where I'm bound
        A5
I don't know where I'm bound
          A5
Whistles calling me away
        A5
leaving at the break of day and
          A5
I don't know where I'm bound

Can't stand locks, bars or doors

mean cops insanity and wars

Gotta find a place of peace

Till then much travellin' on seas

but I don't know where I'm bound

There's gotta be a place for me

under some green growing tree

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


         A5
I don't know where I'm bound
         A5
I don't know where I'm bound
         A5
Whistles calling me away
        A5
leaving at the break of day and
         A5
I don't know where I'm bound

Got myself a little gall
she has been a damn right pall
that ol' highway's calling me
and free I gotta be but
I don't know where I'm bound
