Gotta Travel On

 

Chorus:

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

Summer’s almost gone yes and winters comin on

I’ve laid around and played around this old town to long

And I feel like I’ve gotta travel on

 

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’ve gotta travel on

 

Chorus:

I’ve laid around and played around this old town too long…

 

Pappa writes to Johnny but Johnny can’t come home

Johnny can’t come home no Johnny can’t come home

Pappa writes to Johnny but Johnny can’t come home

Cause he’s been on that chain gang too long

 

Chorus:

I’ve laid around and played around this old town too long…

 

Wanna see my honey wanna see her bad

Wanna see her bad oh I wanna see her bad

Wanna see my honey wanna see her bad

She’s the best gal this poor boy’s ever had

 

Chorus:

I’ve laid around and played around this old town too long…
