Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight by Oak Ridge Boys
Key:BB| Capo:0fr|
B
Lord Mary took to running with a traveling man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
EB
Such a sad case so broken hearted
B
She say momma I got to go I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of town
I'm tired of hanging around
EB
I gotta roll on between the ditches
B
It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go
Round and round nobody knows
EB
But the highway goes on forever
EB
That old highway rolls on forever
B
Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a traveling man
EB
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
B
She say daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind
Eveywhere he's going such a very short time
EB
He'll be long gone before you know it
EB
He'll be long gone before you know it
G#mF#
She say never have I known it when it felt so good
EB
Never have I knew it when I knew I could
G#mF#
Never have I done it when it looked so right
E
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

B
This is down in the swampland anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
EB
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
B
Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad
Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
EB
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
B
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
EB
It ain't no time for lengthy speaches
EB
There ain't no time for lengthy speaches

Never have I done it when it looked so right

EB
That ain't no way to stop the water
