Black Hills Country Band - Leaving Louisianna In The Broad Daylight lyrics

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, got to get outta here

I gotta get out of town, I'm tired of hangin' around

I gotta roll on between the ditches

It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go

'Round ans around nobody knows

But the highway goes on forever

That ol' highway goes on forever

Lord, she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk

If she hadn't started runnin' with a travelin' man

If she hadn't started taking, those crazy chances

She say, daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin' kind

Everywhere she'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 I knew it when I knew it could

Never have I done it when it looked 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 the real thing, down in Louisiana

Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad

When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad

It gets real hot in Louisiana

Now 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 speeches

It ain't no time for lengthy speeches

She say, never have I known it when it felt so good

Never I knew it when I knew it 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 the way things go

'Round and round nobody knows

But the highway goes on forever

That ol' highway roll on forever
