long and a dusty road
When I think about long and dust roads, I think about roads like route 66. Route 66 being so long it looks never ending, this could suggest that he thinks his hardship will never go.

hard and a heavy load
I think that this line isn't literally talking about what he's carrying but more metaphorically. I think "heavy load" is actually referring to big problems, burdens or maybe people that hate him and are giving him grief.

faces

Wonder
Wonder can be used metaphorically to say he is walking purposeless and directionless, as if to set the tone of in the song. The tone in the song could be seen as he (Johny Cash) Reflecting as he Is think about his problems and not concentrating on anything else. Wandering could also mean walking away from his problems to get away from them and the connotations of carelessness in wander reflects on his mood towards his problem.
