Lyrics for Gotta Travel On

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long Summers almost gone, winters coming on Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long And it seems like I've gotta travel on And it seems like I've gotta travel on Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home Johnny can't come home, Johnny can't come home Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home Johnny's been out on the road too long So I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long Summers almost gone, winters coming on Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long And it seems like I've gotta travel on That chilly wind will soon begin and I'll be on my way Going home to stay, going home to stay And that chilly wind will soon begin and I'll be on my way And I feel like I just wanna travel on So I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long Summers almost gone, winters coming on, oh, yes I Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long And it seems like I've gotta travel on There's a lonesome freight at 6: 08 a coming through the town I'll be homeward bound, I'll be homeward bound A lonesome freight at 6: 08 coming all through the town And I feel like I just wanna travel on Well, I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long Summers almost gone, winters coming on, yes it is Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long And it seems like I've gotta travel on
