Rose Maddox Gotta Travel On lyrics

I laid around and I played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes, the winter's comin' on
I laid around and I played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've 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

Yeah, I laid around and I played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes, the winter's comin' on
I laid around and I played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

Well, the high sheriff and police comin' after me
Comin' after me yes a ridin' after me
The high sheriff and police comin' after me
And I feel like I gotta travel on


Yeah I laid around and I played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes, the winter's comin' on
I laid around and I played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I wanna see my, baby, wanna see him bad
Wanna see him bad, yes, I gotta see him bad
I wanna see my honey, I wanna see him bad
He's the best man this poor girl ever had

Well, I laid around and I played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone yes, the winter's comin' on
I laid around and I played around this old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
And I feel like I gotta travel on
