Letra da Música: Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight - Oak Ridge Boys

Mary took to runnin' with a traveling man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She say, momma, I gotta go gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta 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 goes on forever

Lord, she never woulda 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, daugher, 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

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 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

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 felt so right
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

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
