| Lord Mary took to running 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 got to go, gotta get outta here | |
| Gotta get out of town I'm tired of hanging around | |
| I gotta roll on between the ditches | |
| It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things goes | |
| Round and around nobody knows | |
| But the highway goes on forever | |
| That ol' highway rolls on forever | |
| Lord she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk | |
| If she hadn't started running with a traveling man | |
| If she hadn't started taking those crazy changes | |
| She said, ‽Daughter, let me tell you 'bout the traveling 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 said, ‽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†| |
| Well this is down in the swampland, where anything goes | |
| It's alligator bait and the bars don't close | |
| It's the real thing down in Louisiana | |
| Now 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 | |
| And now 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 said, ‽Never have I know 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†| |
| She said, ‽Never have I know 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†| |
| It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go | |
| Round and around nobody knows | |
| But the highway goes on forever | |
| There ain't no way to stop the water |
| Lord Mary took to running with a traveling man | |
| Left her momma crying with her head in her hands | |
| Such a sad case, so broken hearted | |
