Can't Help But Wonder Where I Bound

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

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

Cette chanson évoque le parcours incertain d'une âme errante sur une route poussiéreuse et difficile. Le protagoniste rencontre des gens de toutes sortes, bons et moins bons, et ressent une certaine solitude dans cette quête de sens. Il cherche à comprendre où il va et quel est son véritable but dans la vie, tout en étant conscient que beaucoup autour de lui partagent cette même inquiétude. Il se remémore un vieil ami aventurier qui lui manque, et pense à des retrouvailles futures. La chanson souligne aussi l'importance d'apprécier ce que l'on a, même lorsque les temps sont durs, en trouvant du réconfort sous son propre toit. Cette réflexion sur le voyage de la vie nous invite à accueillir notre itinérance tout en chérissant la sécurité de notre foyer.
