Oh, there's a bunch here tonight
Well, I've laid around and I've played around
This old town too long
Well, summer's almost gone
Yes, the winter's coming on
Well, I've laid around and I've played around
This old town too long
And I feel just like I've got to travel on
Well, I want to see my baby
Well, I want to see her bad
Well, I want to see her bad
Yes, I've got to see her bad
I want to see my baby
Well, I want to see her bad
She's the best gal this poor boy ever had
Well, the papa writes to Johnny
But Johnny can't come home
No, Johnny can't come home
I said my Johnny can't come home
The papa writes to Johnny
But Johnny can't come home
Cause he's been on
That chain gang too long
Well, the high sheriff and the police
Well, they're riding after me
Well, they're riding after me
Everybody's coming after me
The high sheriff and the police
Well, they're riding after me
And I feel just like I've got to travel on
Because I've laid around and I've played around
This old town too long
Well, summer's almost gone
Yes, the winter's coming on
Well, I've laid around and I've played around
This old town too long
And I feel just like I've got to travel on
Well, I said I've laid around and I've played around
This old town too long
And I feel just like I've got to travel on
