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've gotta travel on







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



I've laid around...







High sheriff and police ridin' after me ridin' after me yeah they're comin' after me



High sheriff and police ridin' after me and I feel like I've gotta travel on



I've laid around...







I wanna see my honey wanna see her bad



Wanna see her bad yeah 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 I feel like I've gotta travel on
