Eddy Arnold - Gotta Travel On lyrics

rate me

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
