Gotta Travel On

David Lazar, Larry Ehrlich, Paul Clayton, Tom Six

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

Poppa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home
Johnny can't come home no Johnny can't come home
Poppa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home
'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long

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

High sheriff and police riding after me
Riding after me yes coming after me
High sheriff and police coming after me
And I fee like I 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

Want to see my honey want to see her bad
Want to see her bad oh want to see her bad
Want to see my honey want to see her bad
She's the best girl this poor boy ever had

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
