Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight (1979)
Mary took to running with a traveling man
Left her mama crying with her head in her hand
Such a sad case so broken hearted
She said mama I gotta 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
Just an ordinary story about the way things go around and around nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever that old the highway goes 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 said daughter let me tell you about the traveling kind
Every where 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 said never have I known it when it felt so good
Never have I know it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it look so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland anything goes
It’s alligator bait and the bars don’t close
It’s a real thing down in Louisiana
Did you ever seen a Cajun when he’s really gone mad
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
Stranger better move it or he’s gonna get killed
He’s gonna have to get it or the shotgun will
It ain’t no time for lengthy speeches
There ain’t no time for lengthy speeches
She said never could have known it when it felt so good
Never could have know it when I knew I could
Never would have doubt it when it look so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
She said never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I know it when I knew I could
Never have I doubt it when it look so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
Just an ordinary story about the way things go round and around nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever that old highway goes on forever
