Gotta Travel On Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

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 this chain gang too long 

I've laid around and played around... 

High sheriff and police ridin' after me 

Ridin' after me yes they're comin' after me 

High sheriff and police ridin' after me 

And I feel like I've 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 gal this poor boy ever had 

I've laid around and played around... 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on
