Paroles
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, I gotta get outta here
I gotta get out of town, not hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches"
It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
Round and around nobody knows, but the highway
Goes on forever, yeah, that 'ol highway rolls on forever
But she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a travelin man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy changes
She say daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin kind
Everywhere they go is such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
Yeah, he'll be long gone before you know it
She say never ever know it would have felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I 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 down in Louisiana
Oh, 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
Oh, it ain't no time for lengthy speeches
She say never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
Never have I done it when it looked so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
She say never have I know it when it felt so good
Never have I knew it when I knew I 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 way things go
Round and around nobody knows, but the highway goes on forever
There ain't no way to stop the water
Thank you
