Gotta Travel On

(álbum: The Midnight Special - 1962)

I've laid around and stayed around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, summer's almost gone
I've laid around and stayed around this old town too long
And I feel like I've got to 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 got to travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes yes, summer's almost gone
Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
And I feel like I've got to travel on

I've waited here for 'most a year, waiting for the sun to shine
Waiting for the sun to shine, hoping you'd change your mind
I've waited here for 'most a year, waiting for the sun to shine
Now I feel like I've got to travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, summer's almost gone
Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
And I feel like I've got to travel on

Well, the chili wind will soon begin, I'll be on my way
Gone a lonesome day, yes yes, going home to stay
Yes, chili wind will soon begin, I'll be on my way
And I feel like I've got to travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, I tell you, summer's almost gone
Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
And I feel like I've got to travel on

Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long, yes
Summer's almost gone, Lord, oh mama, summer's almost gone, yes
I tell you, done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
And I feel like I've got to travel on
