B

Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man

Left her momma crying with her head in her hands

E B

Such a sad case so broken hearted

B

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

E B

I gotta roll on between the ditches

B

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

Round and round nobody knows

E B

But the highway goes on forever

E B

That old highway rolls on forever

B

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

If she hadn't started running with a traveling man

E B

If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances

B

She say daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind

Eveywhere he's going such a very short time

E B

He'll be long gone before you know it

E B

He'll be long gone before you know it

G#m F#

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

E B

Never have I knew it when I knew I could

G#m F#

Never have I done it when it looked so right

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

SOLO

B

This is down in the swampland anything goes

It's alligator bait and the bars don't close

E B

It's the real thing down in Louisiana

B

Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad

Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad

E B

It gets real hot down in Louisiana

B

The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed

He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will

E B

It ain't no time for lengthy speaches

E B

There ain't no time for lengthy speaches

G#m F#

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

E B

Never have I knew it when I knew I could

G#m F#

Never have I done it when it looked so right

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

G#m F#

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

E B

Never have I knew it when I knew I could

G#m f#

Never have I done it when it looked so right

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

E

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

B

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

Round and round nobody knows

E B

But the highway goes on forever

E B

That ain't no way to stop the water

E B E B E B
