[Verse]
G
Mary took to running with a travelling man
C
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands such a sad case
G
So broken hearted
She say, momma, gotta go, gotta get outta here
C
Gotta get outta town, tired of hanging around gotta roll on
G
Between the ditches
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
C G
'Round and around, nobody knows but the highway goes on forever
C G
That ol' highway rolls on forever
Lord, she never would’ve done it if she hadn't got drunk If she hadn't
started running with a travelling man
C G
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
She say daughter let me tell you 'bout the travelling' kind everywhere he's
goin' such a very short time
C G C
He'll be long gone before you know it He'll be long gone
G
Before you know it
[Chorus]
Em D
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
C G
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Em D
Never have I done it when it looked so right
C G
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
This is down in the swampland, anything goes
C
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close it's the real thing
G
Down in Louisiana
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad When he really got trouble
like a daughter goin’ bad
C G
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
C
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will it ain't no time
G C
For lengthy speeches there ain't no time for lengthy speeches
