Where I am bound
I?ve been out walking a hard lifetime.
Each step from my cradle, each yard past my prime.
Every mile toward my maker,
I hope he?ll be found.
Toward heaven or hell is all I can tell of where I am bound.
Where I am bound, where I am bound.
Each life is a flower that blooms and returns to the ground.
Each death a reminder, make the most of when you?re around.
Toward heaven or hell is all I can tell of where I am bound.
I?ve said some many words I wish I could take back.
Done things that led me down the wrong track.
I lost my way but you turned mys life around
Toward heaven or hell. It?s all I can tell
Of where I am bound.
Chorus
I?ve wronged some strangers and a friend or two.
I?ve never loved no one, ?til I met you.
I will love you as long as my heart pounds
Toward heaven or hell. It?s all I can tell of where I am bound.
Chorus
