Leaving La In Daylight Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[B]Lord Mary took to running with a travelin man

Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a [E]sad case so broken [B]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
I gotta [E]roll on between the [B]ditches
[B]It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

Round and round nobody knows
But the [E]highway goes on for[B]ever
That old [E]highway rolls on f[B]orever
[B]Lord she never would have done it if she hadn't got drunk

If she hadn't started running with a traveling man
If she [E]hadn't started taking those crazy [B]chances
[B]She say daughter let me tell you bout the traveling kind

Eveywhere he's going such a very short time
He'll be [E]long gone before you [B]know it
He'll be [E]long gone before you [B]know it
She say [G#m]never have I known it when it [F#]felt so good
[E]Never have I knew it when I [B]knew I could
[G#m]Never have I done it when it [F#]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
It's the [E]real thing down in Loui[B]siana
[B]Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad

Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
It gets [E]real hot down in Louisi[B]ana
[B]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 [E]no time for lengthy [B]speaches
There ain't [E]no time for lengthy s[B]peaches
She say [G#m]never have I known it when it [F#]felt so good
[E]Never have I knew it when I knew I [B]could
[G#m]Never have I done it when it [F#]looked so right
[E]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
She say [G#m]never have I known it when it [F#]felt so good
[E]Never have I knew it when I knew I [B]could
G#m f#
Never have I done it when it looked so right
[E]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
[E]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
[B]It's just an ordinary story bout the way things go

Round and round nobody knows
But the [E]highway goes on for[B]ever
That ain't [E]no way to stop the [B]water

[E] [B] [E] [B] [E] [B]
