[Verse]
GMary took to running with a travelling man Left her momma crying with her head in her hands such a sCad case So broken heGarted
She say, momma, gotta go, gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta town, tired of hanging around gotta rColl on Between the diGtches
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around, nobody knows but the hiCghway goes on foGrever That ol' higChway rolls on foGrever
Lord, she never would’ve done it if she hadn't got drunk If she hadn't started running with a travelling man
If she haCdn't started taking those crazy chanGces She say daughter let me tell you 'bout the travelling' kind everywhere he's goin' such a very short time CHe'll be long gone before you kGnow it He'll be Clong gone Before you kGnow it
[Chorus]
She sayEm never have I known it when it fDelt so good CNever have I knew it when I knGew I could EmNever have I done it when it looDked so right LCeaving Louisiana in the bGroad daylight
This is down in the swampland, anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close it's the rCeal thing Down in GLouisiana
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad When he really got trouble like a daughter goin’ bad
It gets rCeal hot down in LouisGiana 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 nCo time For lengthy speecGhes there ain't noC time for lengthy speeches
[Chorus]
She sayEm never have I known it when it fDelt so good CNever have I knew it when I knGew I could EmNever have I done it when it looDked so right LCeaving Louisiana in the bGroad daylight
EmShe say never have I known it whDen it felt so good CNever have I knew it when I knGew I could EmNever have I done it when it looDked so right LCeaving Louisiana in the bGroad daylight
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around, nobody knows but the hiCghway goes on foGrever That ol' higChway rolls on foGrever
