Gotta Travel On

And I feel like I've gotta travel on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
Poppa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home

Want to see my honey, want to see her bad
I've laid around and played around this old town too long

Summers almost gone, yes, winters coming on

Summers almost gone, yes, winters coming on
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
Riding after me, yes, coming after me
Want to see my honey, want to see her bad
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I've laid around and played around this old town too long
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
High sheriff and police riding after me
High sheriff and police riding after me
'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long
Poppa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
Summers almost gone, yes, winters coming on
Johnny can't come home, no, Johnny can't come home
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
I've laid around and played around this old town too long

She's the best gal this poor boy's ever had
Want to see her bad, oh, I want to see her bad
