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







Well 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 long







High sheriff and police ridin' after me ridin' after me yes comin' after me



High sheriff and police they're comin' after me and I feel like I've gotta travel on



I've laid around and played around...







Well 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 had



I've laid around and played around...
