Billy Grammer Gotta Travel On live Perfomance
Billy Grammer Gotta Travel On lyrics
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I 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 comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
High sheriff and police riding after me
Riding after me, yes, coming after me
High sheriff and police coming after me
And I fee like I gotta travel on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
Want to see my honey, want to see her bad
Want to see her bad, oh, want to see her bad
Want to see my honey, want to see her bad
She's the best girl, this poor boy ever had
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summer's almost gone, yes, winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around this old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on

[@user-ee4gm1tj5o]

This was my grandpa's favorite song. Rest in Peace Harry Marvin Knight of Kentucky :)

Buddy Holly opened with this song on his final concert in Clear Lake, Iowa on 2/2/1959

I have a new grandson to spoil, so I’m not going to travel on until the end of October. Then it’s go time! 😁

[@aprilguittar9658]

My father used to sing this song, I never heard anyone else sing it.. he was from Oklahoma, I miss him dearly.💔

[@rachelcourtney2928]

My mother used to sing this song, she was so beautiful. I miss you Mommy, love you always 😘 Rest in peace 🙏

[@normanbaratelli4651]

My sisters and I lived in Texas while our grandparents lived in northern Oklahoma and we'd sing this along with many other songs on those long drives. From the looks of it many of you did the same or something similar.

[@beverlyhopkins7468]

I have to go out and see this video occasionally because it reminds me of my Dad. When he was alive we moved often to keep food on the table. He sang the first portion of this song often. At his funeral we requested this be the song used to send him on his last journey.

[@georgschmidt5281]

One of my favorite songs.

[@georgschmidt5281]

An ole boy from Southern Illinois.

While driving into town for a jam today, this song came into my head and I could not remember the name or anything else about it. But, my dad use to sing it, WAY back in my kidlett days. Thanks for posting this song. Next week, I'm taking it to the jam.

[@earlyrisersteph]

This is so great. Who does not feel this way right now?

[@burningrabbitacres8330]

Maybe Joe Strummer, who sampled the opening lines. So he sent me here as did Buddy Holly Holley, who sang this song the night before he died. He sure the hell loved, believe that. But that Joe...I've laid around, I've played around this ol town too long, seems like I got to...travellllll!!! Armagigeon time, oh oh.

[@stephenbrowne3399]

A mighty single 45. One of the best on that ole radio.

[@neilmansfield8329]
