Karaoke Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight The Oak Ridge Boys

Mary took to running with a travelling man

Left her mama crying with her head in her hands

Such a sad case

So broken hearted

She say Mama gotta go

Gotta get outta here

Gotta get outta town

Tired of hanging around

I gotta roll on between the ditches

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 travelling man

If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances

She say Daughter let me tell you 'bout the travelling kind

Everywhere he'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 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 going 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

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

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

Ahee
