Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight Rodney Crowell
Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a [Bb]sad case so broken [F]hearted
[F]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
I gotta [Bb]roll on between the [F]ditches
[F]It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and round nobody knows
But the [Bb]highway goes on for[F]ever
That old [Bb]highway rolls on f[F]orever
[F]Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a traveling man
If she [Bb]hadn't started taking those crazy [F]chances
[F]She say daughter let me tell you Bout the traveling kind
Everywhere he's going such a very short time
He'll be [Bb]long gone before you [F]know it
He'll be [Bb]long gone before you [F]know it
She say [Dm]never have I known it when it [C]felt so good
[Bb]Never have I knew it when I [F]knew I could
[Dm]Never have I done it when it [C]looked so right
[Bb]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
SOLO
[F]This is down in the swampland anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the [Bb]real thing down in Loui[F]siana
[F]Did you ever a Cajun when he really got mad
Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets [Bb]real hot down in Louisi[F]ana
[F]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 [Bb]no time for lengthy [F]speeches
There ain't [Bb]no time for lengthy s[F]peeches
She say [Dm]never have I known it when it [C]felt so good
[Bb]Never have I knew it when I knew I [F]could
[Dm]Never have I done it when it [C]looked so right
[Bb]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
She say [Dm]never have I known it when it [C]felt so good
[Bb]Never have I knew it when I knew I [F]could
[Dm]Never have I done it when it [C]looked so right
[Bb]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
[Bb]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
[F]It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and round nobody knows
Fut the [Bb]highway goes on for[F]ever
That ain't [Bb]no way to stop the w[F]ater
