Gotta Travel On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on.
I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home.
Johnny can't come home, no, Johnny can't come home.
Poppa writes to Johnny, but Johnny can't come home,
'Cause he's been on the chain gang too long.
I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
summer's almost gone, yes, winter's coming on.
I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
