Gotta Travel On Lyrics - Webb Pierce

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

Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming 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 and played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on 

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 

Riding after me, yeah, they're coming after me 

High sheriff and police riding after me 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

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

Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on 

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

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

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 played around this old town too long 

Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on 

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

And I feel like I've gotta travel on 

And I feel like I've gotta travel on
