| 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, 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 say, 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, 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 down in Louisiana
|
| 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 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
|
| 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. |
