Bobby Bare - Gotta Travel On lyrics

rate me

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

Summer's almost gone 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

High sheriff and police are ridin' after me ridin' after me oh they're ridin' after me

High sheriff and police are ridin' after me and I feel like I've gotta travel on

Papa writes to Johnny Johnny can't come home

No Johnny can't come home ahah Johnny can't come home

Papa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home

Cause he's been on that chain gang too long

Gotta see my baby gotta see her bad gotta see her bad oh I gotta see her bad

Gotta see my baby gotta see her bad she's the best friend this poor boy ever had

I've laid around and played around...

Oh I feel like I've gotta travel on oh I feel like I've gotta travel on
