Gotta Travel On

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

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

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And I feel like I gotta travel on

Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home

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

Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home

For he's been on the chain gang too long

High sheriff and police comin' after me

Comin' after me, oh, comin' after me

High sheriff and police comin' after me

And I feel like I gotta travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

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

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And I feel like I gotta travel on

Want-a see my honey, want-a see her bad

Want-a see her bad, oh, I want-a see her bad

Want-a see my honey and I want-a see her bad

She's the best gal this poor boy ever had

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

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

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And I feel like I gotta travel on

And I feel like I gotta travel, done laid around

Done stayed around this old town, too long
