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...
|
|
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...

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 feel like I gotta travel on
|
