Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight The Oak Ridge Boys

[Verse 1]
Mary took to running with a travelling man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She say, momma, 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

[Verse 2]
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 goin' such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
He'll be long gone before you know it

[Chorus]
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
