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
