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...
|
|
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...
|
Travel on travel on travel on
