Lyrics:

Lord, Mary Took To Runnin With A Travelin Man
left Her Momma Cryin With Her Head In Her Hands
such A Sad Case, So Broken-Hearted
she Says, momma, Gotta Go, Gotta Get Outta Here
gotta Get Outta Town, Tired Of Hangin Around,
gotta Roll On Between The Ditches

its Just An Ordinary Story bout The Way Things Go
round And Round, Nobody Knows
but The Highway Goes On Forever
that Old Highway Goes On Forever

lord, She Never Woulda Done If She Hadnt Got Drunk
hadnt Started Runnin With A Travelin Man
if She Hadnt Started Takin Those Crazy Chances
she Says, daughter, Let Me Tell You bout The Travelin Kind
everywhere Hes Goin Such A Very Short Time
hell Be Long Gone Before You Know It
hell Be Long Gone Before You Know It

she Says, 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
leavin Lousiana In The Broad Daylight

this Is Down In The Swamplands, Anything Goes
alligator Bait, And The Bars Dont Close
its The Real Thing Down In Lousiana
didja Ever See A Cajun When He Really Got Mad
really Got Trouble Like A Daughter Gone Bad
it Gets Real Hot Down In Lousiana

well, The Stranger Bettter Move It Or Hes Gonna Get Killed
gonna Have To Move It Or A Shotgun Will
it Aint No Time For Lengthy Speeches
it Aint No Time For Lengthy Speeches

she Says, 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
leavin Lousiana In The Broad Daylight
leavin Lousiana In The Broad Daylight

its 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
there Aint No Way To Stop The Water
