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
|
