The Oak Ridge Boys – Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight (Guitar)

E
Mary took to running with a traveling man

E 
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands

       A        
Such a sad case 

          E
so broken hearted

          E
She said momma I got to go I gotta get out of here

         E
I gotta get out of town I'm tired of hanging around

        A        
I gotta roll on 

            E
between the ditches

             E
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

E 
Round and round nobody knows

        A      
But the highway 

           E  
goes on forever

         A      
That old highway 

            E
rolls on forever

          E
Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk

       E
If she hadn't started running with a traveling man

       A                    
If she hadn't started taking 

              E
those crazy chances

          E
She said daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind

E
Everywhere he's going such a very short time

         A        
He'll be long gone

             E
before you know it

         A         
He'll be long gone 

           E
before you know it

         C#m                            B7
She said never have I known it when it felt so good

A                           E
Never have I knew it when I knew I could

C#m                           B7
Never have I done it when it looked so right

A
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

        E
This is down in the swampland anything goes

    E
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close

         A         
It's the real thing

               E
 down in Louisiana

         E
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad

        E
When he really got trouble like a daughter gone bad

        A        
It gets real hot

              E 
down in Louisiana

       E
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed

     E
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will

         A       
It ain't no time 

            E
for lengthy speeches

            A   
There ain't no time 

             E
for lengthy speeches

         C#m                            B7
She said never have I known it when it felt so good

A                           E
Never have I knew it when I knew I could

C#m                           B7
Never have I done it when it looked so right
