Mary took to running with a traveling man, left her mama crying with her head in her [C] hand.
Such a sad case, so [G] broken hearted. _
She said, Mom, I gotta go, I gotta get out of here, I gotta get out of town, I'm tired of hanging around,
I [C] gotta roll along [G] between the ditches.
It's just an ordinary story about the way things go, around and around nobody knows,
[C] but the highway [Am] goes [G] on forever, _ that [C] old highway [G] goes on forever. _ _ _
_ _ Well, she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk, if she hadn't started running with a traveling [C] man,
if she hadn't started taking those [G] crazy chances.
_ She said, Daughter, let me tell you about the traveling kind,
everywhere he's going's just a very short [C] town, he'll be long gone [G] before you know it,
[C] man, he'll be long gone [G] before you know it.
_ _ _ [Em] She said, Never have [D] I known it when it felt [C] so good, never have [G] I knew it when I knew I could,
[Em] never have [D] I known it when it looked [C] so right, leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight.

it's a real thing down in [G] Louisiana.
_ _ How did you ever see a case when he really got mad, when he's really got trouble like a daughter gone [C] bad,
it gets real hot down [G] in Louisiana.
_ So now this stranger's made a movie, now he's gonna get killed, he's gonna have to get a gun or a shotgun,
well, it [C] ain't no time, [G] well, it ain't this beach here, man, this ain't [C] no time, well, [G] it ain't this beach here. _ _
