Leaving louisiana in the broad daylight Lyrics
Leaving louisiana in the broad daylight by Emmylou Harris
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 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.
When it felt 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 lenthy speeches
It ain't no time for lenthy 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.
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.
It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
Round and round nobody knows
But the highwa goes on forever
There ain't no way to stop the water...
