Gotta Travel On
Wanderlust Anthem: Gotta Travel On by Charlie Gracie
Lyrics
I've laid around and played around
I have been idle and engaged in leisurely activities
This old town too long
I have stayed in this town for an extended period
Summer's almost gone
The season of summer is nearly over
Yes, winter's comin' on
Winter is approaching
I've laid around and played around
I have been idle and engaged in leisurely activities
This old town too long
I have stayed in this town for an extended period
And I feel like I gotta travel on
I feel an urge or necessity to embark on a journey
Mary writes to Johnny
Mary communicates with Johnny
But Johnny can't come home
Johnny is unable to return home
Johnny can't come home
Johnny's inability to come home is reiterated
No, Johnny can't come home
Reaffirmation that Johnny cannot come home
Mary writes to Johnny
Mary communicates with Johnny
But Johnny can't come home
Johnny remains unable to return home
Cause he's been on the chain gang too long
Because he has been confined to a chain gang for an extended period
I've laid around and played around
I have been idle and engaged in leisurely activities
This old town too long
I have stayed in this town for an extended period
Summer's almost gone
The season of summer is nearly over
Yes, winter's comin' on
Winter is approaching
I've laid around and played around
I have been idle and engaged in leisurely activities
This old town too long
I have stayed in this town for an extended period
And I feel like I gotta travel on
I feel an urge or necessity to embark on a journey
