Billy Grammer Gotta Travel On Lyrics

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

Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home

Johnny can't come home, no, Johnny can't come home

Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home

'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long

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

High sheriff and police riding after me

Riding after me, yes, coming after me

High sheriff and police coming after me

And I fee like I gotta travel on

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

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 girl, this poor boy ever had

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
