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
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
