Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
                     D              A
Summers almost gone, winters coming on
A                                                      F#m
Done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
       C                     D      A
And it seems like I've gotta travel on
       C                     D      A
And it seems like I've gotta travel on

[Verse]

Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home
                        D                 A
Johnny can't come home, Johnny can't come home
A                                        F#m
Papa writes to Johnny, Johnny can't come home
D                                        A
Johnny's been out on the road too long

[Chorus]

So I done laid around, done stayed around this old town too long
                     D              A
Summers almost gone, winters coming on
A                                                      F#m

That chilly wind will soon begin and I'll be on my way
                    D             A
Going home to stay, going home to stay
A                                                      F#m
And that chilly wind will soon begin and I'll be on my way

And I feel like I just wanna travel on

There's a lonesome freight at 6: 08 a coming through the town
                        D                A
I'll be homeward bound, I'll be homeward bound

And I feel like I just wanna travel on
