Gotta Travel On Lyrics - Dave Dudley

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on 

I've laid around 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 

He's been on that chain gang too long 

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on 

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

High sheriff and police ridin' after me 

Ridin' after me, comin' after me 

High sheriff and police they' ridin' after me 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on 

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

Wanna see my baby, wanna see her bad 

Wanna see her bad, I've gotta see her bad 

Wanna see my baby, I wanna see her bad 

She's the best gal this poor boy ever had 

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone, winter's comin' on 

I've laid around played around this old town too long 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on
