Текст песни Jimmy Dean - Gotta Travel On

(Paul Clayton)

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 gotta travel on.

Well, 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.

High sheriff and police ridin' after me
Ridin' after me, yes comin' after me
High sheriff and police they're comin' 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 comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on.

Well, I wanna see my honey and I wanna see her bad
Wanna see her bad, oh, wanna see her bad
I wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad
She's the best gal this poor boy ever had.

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 gotta travel on.

Travel on, travel on, travel on...
