Chorus:
Well I've 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.
Chorus
I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad,
Wanna see my honey, wanna see her bad,
Well I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad,
She's the best gal this poor boy's ever had.
Chorus
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.
Chorus
And I feel like I've gotta travel on
