Gotta Travel On

(альбом: Hello In There - 1983)

You've layed around and played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Winter's coming on
You've layed around and played around
This old town too long
And I feel like you better travel on

High sheriff and the police coming after you
Coming after you, yes coming after you
High Sheriff and the police coming after you
So I feel like you better travel on

I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad
I wanna see her bad, I wanna see her bad
I wanna see my woman, I wanna see her bad
She's the best friend this poor boy's ever had

I just needed money, I didn't mean to hurt no one
Mean to hurt no one, pa, mean to hurt no one
I just needed money, I didn't mean to hurt no one
Lord, I wish I'd have never seen that gun

I've layed around and played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Winter's coming on
I've layed around and played around
This old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on

I promise you I'll write you if you don't get away
If you don't get away, son, if you don't get away
I promise you I'll write you if you don't get away
And I'll come to see you, if you have to stay

Well I ain't going to prison, I'd rather die here in the street
Die here in the street, pa, die here in the street
I ain't going to prison, I'd rather die here in the street
And I'll leave this world lying at your feet

I've layed around and played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Winter's coming on
I've layed around and played around
This old town too long
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
