Testo Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight - 2003 Remaster - Emmylou Harris
Testo della canzone Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight - 2003 Remaster (Emmylou Harris), tratta dall'album Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town (Expanded & Remastered)
Oh, Mary took to running with a travelling man
Left her momma crying with her head in her hands
Such a sad case, so broken hearted
She say, "Momma, gotta go, gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta town, tired of hanging around
I gotta roll on between the ditches"
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around, nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever
Oh, that all highway goes on forever
Lord, she never would've done it if she hadn't got drunk
Hadn't started running with a travelling man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances
She said, "Daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelling' kind
Everywhere they go such a very short time
He'll be long gone before you know it
Oh, he'll be long gone before you know it"
She say, "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 swamp where anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
Did you ever see a Cajun when he really got mad
Really got trouble like a daughter goin' bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
Oh, the stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
Gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
Lord, there ain't no time for lengthy speeches
She say, "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"
She say, "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
Leaving Louisiana in the broad daylight"
It's just an ordinary story about the way things go
"Round and around, nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever
There ain't no way to stop the water
