Patty Loveless - Where I'm Bound lyrics

(daryl burgess/tom britt) 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 Its just a teardrop From the corner of my eye As good-bye, as i fly To where i'm bound
