Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight

Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man Left her momma crying with her head in her hands Such a sad case so broken hearted She say momma I got to go I gotta get out of here I gotta get out of town I'm tired of hanging around I gotta roll on between the ditches It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go Round and round nobody knows But the highway goes on forever That old highway rolls on forever Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk If she hadn't started running with a traveling man If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances She say daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind Eveywhere he's going such a very short time He'll be long gone before you know it He'll be long gone before you know it She say never have I known it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight SOLO This is down in the swampland anything goes It's alligator bait and the bars don't close It's the real thing down in Louisiana Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad It gets real hot down in Louisiana The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will It ain't no time for lengthy speaches There ain't no time for lengthy speaches She say never have I known it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight She say never have I known it when it felt so good Never have I knew it when I knew I could Never have I done it when it looked so right Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go Round and round nobody knows But the highway goes on forever That ain't no way to stop the water
