[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
[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 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
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
