Where I'm Bound Lyrics - Patty Loveless

Can you hear it cross the valley? 

Can you hear that mournful sound? 

I'm riding rails of silver 

Going to where I'm bound 

High above the fields of clover 

On a lazy, hot July 

When I get to where I'm going 

I'll hold my head up high 

I will roll across these mountains 

I will take the last train out 

Riding rails of silver 

Going to where I'm bound 

Roses, dust and ashes 

Throw them where I lay 

And if by chance you see me 

There'll be no sorrow on my face 

For I will see the beauty 

I only wish that you could see 

I'll leave my body weakened 

I'll leave my soul to wander free, so free 

So if you should see a diamond 

Fall down from the sky, it's just a teardrop 

From the corner of my eye 

As goodbye as I fly, to where I'm bound
