Gotta Travel On

(album: The Seekers - 1964)

I done laid around and played around this old town too long.
Summer's almost gone; yes, winter's coming on.
Well, I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way;
I'll be on my way; yes, I'm going alone some day.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.

I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad;
Wanna see her bad, wanna see her bad.
Well, I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad;
She's the best gal this poor boy ever had.

I done laid around and played around this old town too long.
Summer's almost gone; yes, winter's coming on.
Well, I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way;
I'll be on my way; yes, I'm going alone some day.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.

There's a lonesome freight at 6:08, coming through the town;
Coming through the town; yes, I'll be homeward bound.
There's a lonesome freight at 6:08, coming through the town,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.

I done laid around and played around this old town too long.
Summer's almost gone; yes, winter's coming on.
Well, I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way;
I'll be on my way; yes, I'm going alone some day.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.

And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
