Oak Ridge Boys - Leavin' Louisiana In The Broad Daylight guitar chord

Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight

By The Oak Ridge Boys

B

Mary took to runnin’ 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 said 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

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 runnin’ with a travelin’ man

If she hadn't started takin’ those crazy chances

She said daughter let me tell you ‘bout the traveling kind

Everywhere 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

Chorus:

G#m F#

She said 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

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 speeches

There ain't no time for lengthy speeches

Repeat Chorus twice
