Gotta Travel On

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

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

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

And I feel like I gotta travel on

Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home

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

Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home

'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long

High sheriff and police ridin' after me

Ridin' after me, yes, comin' after me

High sheriff and police ridin' after me

And I feel like I gotta travel on

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

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

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

And I feel like I gotta travel on

Wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad

Wanna see her bad, oh, wanna see her bad

Wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad

She's the best girl this poor boy ever had

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

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

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

And I feel like I gotta travel on

Travel on
