[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Mary took to running with a travelling man
Left her momma crying
with her head in her hands
Such a [F]sad case, so broken [C]hearted
She say, momma, gotta go,
gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta town, tired of hanging around
I gotta [F]roll on between the [C]ditches
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around, nobody knows
But the [F]highway goes on fo[C]rever
That ol' [F]highway rolls on fo[C]rever

[Verse 2]
Lord, she [C]never would’ve done it
if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running
with a travelling man
If she [F]hadn't started taking
those crazy [C]chances
She say, daughter, let me tell you
'bout the travelling' kind
Everywhere he's goin' such a very short time
He'll be [F]long gone before you [C]know it
He'll be [F]long gone before you [C]know it.

[Chorus 1]
She say, [Am]never have I known it
when it [G]felt so good
[F]Never have I knew it when I [C]knew I could
[Am]Never have I done it when it [G]looked so right
[F]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

[Solo 1]

[Verse 3]
This is [C]down in the swampland, anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the [F]real thing down in Louisi[C]ana
Did you ever see a Cajun
when he really got mad
When he really got trouble
like a daughter goin’ bad
It gets [F]real hot down in Louisi[C]ana
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 [F]no time for lengthy [C]speeches
There ain't [F]no time for lengthy [C]speeches.

[Chorus 2]
She say, [Am]never have I known it
when it [G]felt so good
[F]Never have I knew it when I [C]knew I could
[Am]Never have I done it when it [G]looked so right
[F]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight
She say, [Am]never have I known it
when it [G]felt so good
[F]Never have I knew it when I [C]knew I could
[Am]Never have I done it when it [G]looked so right
[F]Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight

[Outro 1]
Just an [C]ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around, nobody knows
But the [F]highway goes on fo[C]rever
That ol' [F]highway rolls on fo[C]rever
