Leavin' Louisiana In The Broad Daylight Teclado

	  B   
Mary took to runnin? with a travelin? man  
  
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands  
       E                  B  
Such a sad case so broken hearted  
B  
She said momma I got to go, I gotta get out of here  
  
I gotta get out of town  
  
I'm tired of hanging around  
        E                   B  
I gotta roll on between the ditches  
  
  
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go  
Round and round, nobody knows  
But the highway goes on forever  
That old highway rolls 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 takin? those crazy chances  
She said daughter let me tell you ?bout the traveling 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  

         G#m                           F#  
She said never have I known it when it felt so good  
E                           B  
Never have I knew it when I knew I could  
G#m                          F#  
Never have I done it when it looked so right  
E  
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 a Cajun when he really got mad  
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  
  
  
Repeat Chorus twice
