I laid around and I played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Yes, winter's coming on
I laid around and I played around
This old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
My papa keeps writing to Johnny
But Johnny won't come home
My Johnny won't come home
Oh Johnny, won't come home
Because he's been on that chain gang
So long
I laid around and I played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Yes, winter's coming on
I laid around and I played around
This old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
All together now
I laid around and I played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Yes, winter's coming on
I laid around and I played around
This old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
