Song 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

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
