Johnny Cash — I Dont Know Where Im Bound

"I have to sit down for - okay, we'll do that for you, just a minute, thank you. This young man here at San Quentin tonight that wrote a song that I just saw written down on paper the first time yesterday. He sent me the sheet music on it, and I don't know anybody who reads music, except maybe Helen. And I liked the lyrics so much I started singing my own tune to it, you know, the first thing that came to my mind. Let's try a little bit of it, right here..." I don't know where I'm bound I don't know where I'm bound Whistle's calling me away, leaving at the break of day And 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 Until then, my traveling won't cease But I don't know where I'm bound There's got to 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 I don't know where I'm bound I don't know where I'm bound Whistle's 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 got to 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
