Leaving Louisianna In The Broad Daylight Lyrics - Singles - Black Hills Country Band

Lord, 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, got to get outta here 

I gotta get out of town, I'm tired of hangin' around 

I gotta roll on between the ditches 

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

'Round ans around nobody knows 

But the highway goes on forever 

That ol' highway goes on forever 

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

If she hadn't started runnin' with a travelin' man 

If she hadn't started taking, those crazy chances 

She say, daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin' kind 

Everywhere she's going such a very short time 

He'll be long gone, before you know it 

He'll be long gone, before you know it 

She say, never have I known it when it felt so good 

Never I knew it when I knew it 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 in Louisiana 

Now 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 

It ain't no time for lengthy speeches 

She say, never have I known it when it felt so good 

Never I knew it when I knew it 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 the way things go 

'Round and round nobody knows 

But the highway goes on forever 

That ol' highway roll on forever
