Gotta Travel On

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

Summers almost gone, winters coming on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And it seems like I've gotta travel on

And it seems like I've gotta travel on

Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home

Johnny can't come home, Johnny can't come home

Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home

Johnny's been out on the road too long

So I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

Summers almost gone, winters coming on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And it seems like I've gotta travel on

That chilly wind will soon begin and I'll be on my way

Going home to stay, going home to stay

And that chilly wind will soon begin and I'll be on my way

And I feel like I just wanna travel on

So I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

Summers almost gone, winters coming on, oh, yes I

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And it seems like I've gotta travel on

There's a lonesome freight at 6:08 a coming through the town

I'll be homeward bound, I'll be homeward bound

A lonesome freight at 6:08 coming all through the town

And I feel like I just wanna travel on

Well, I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

Summers almost gone, winters coming on, yes it is

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long

And it seems like I've gotta travel on
