[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Mary took to running with a travelin' man G Left her momma crying with her head in her hands C G Such a sad case, so broken hearted G She say, momma, I got to go, gotta get outta here G I gotta get out of town, I'm tired of hanging around C G I gotta roll on between the ditches G It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go G C 'Round and around nobody knows but the highway G C G Goes on forever, that ol' highway rolls on forever.
[Verse 2]
G Lord, she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk G If she hadn't started running with a travelin' man C G If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances G She say, daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin' kind G Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time C G He'll be long gone before you know it C G He'll be long gone before you know it.
[Chorus]
C 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 C D Never have I done it when it looked so right C Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.
[Verse]
G This is down in the swampland, anything goes G It's alligator bait and the bars don't close C G It's the real thing down in Louisiana G Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad G When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad C G It gets real hot down in Louisiana G The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed G He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will C G It ain't no time for lengthy speeches C G There ain't no time for lengthy speeches.
[Chorus]
C 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 C D Never have I done it when it looked so right C Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.
[Verse]
G It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go C 'Round and around nobody knows but the highway G C G Goes on forever, that ol' highway rolls on forever.
