Gotta Travel On

I've laid around played around this old town too long

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on

I've laid around played around this old town too long

And I feel like I've gotta travel on

Papa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home

Johnny can't come home, no, Johnny can't come home

Papa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home

He's been on that chain gang too long

I've laid around played around this old town too long

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on

I've laid around played around this old town too long

And I feel like I've gotta travel on

High sheriff and police ridin' after me

Ridin' after me, comin' after me

High sheriff and police they' ridin' after me

And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I've laid around played around this old town too long

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on

I've laid around played around this old town too long

And I feel like I've gotta travel on

Wanna see my baby, wanna see her bad

Wanna see her bad, I've gotta see her bad

Wanna see my baby, I wanna see her bad

She's the best gal this poor boy ever had

I've laid around played around this old town too long

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on

I've laid around played around this old town too long

And I feel like I've gotta travel on
