Gotta Travel On

Done laid around, done stayed around

This old town too long

Summer's almost gone, winter's coming on

Done laid around, done stayed around

This old town too long

And it seems like I've got to travel on

And it seems like I've got to travel on.

Papa writes to Johnny, "Johnny, can't you come home ?

Johnny, can't you come home ? Johnny, can't you come home ?"

Papa writes to Johnny, "Johnny, can't you come home ?"

Johnny's been out on the road too long

Done laid around, done stayed around

This old town too long

And it seems like I've got to travel on

And it seems like I've got to travel on.

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

Going home to stay, going home to stay

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

And I feel like I just want to travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around

This old town too long

And it seems like I've got to travel on

And it seems like I've got to travel on.

There's a lonesome freight at 6.08 coming through the town

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

There's a lonesome freight at 6.08 coming through the town

And I feel like I just want to travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around

This old town too long

And it seems like I've got to travel on

And it seems like I've got to travel on.
