Gotta Travel On

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel onWell, 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
'Cause he's been on the chain gang too longHigh sheriff and police riding after me
Riding after me, yes, coming after me
High sheriff and police they're coming after me
And I feel like I've gotta travel onI've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel onWell, I wanna see my honey and I wanna see her bad
Wanna see her bad, oh, wanna see her bad
I wanna see my honey wanna see her bad
She's the best gal this poor boy ever hadI've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes winter's coming on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
Travel on, travel on travel, on
