Leavin' Louisiana In The Broad Daylight Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

(Rodney Crowell) 

 

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, I gotta get outta here 

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

I gotta roll on between the ditches 

 

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

Round and around nobody knows, but the highway 

Goes on forever, 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 travelin' man 

If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances

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

Everywhere he's goin' 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 have I knew it when I knew I could 

Never have I done it when it looked so right 

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight 

 

This is down in the swampland, where anything goes 

It's Alligator Day 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 down 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 

There ain't no time for lengthy speeches

She said never have I know it when it felt so good 

Never have I knew it when I knew I could 

Never have I done it when it looked so right 

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight 

 

She said never have I know it when it felt so good 

Never have I knew it when I knew I could 

Never have I done it when it looked so right 

Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight 

 

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

Round and around nobody knows, but the highway goes on forever 

There ain't no way to stop the water
