Harris Emmylou Quarter Moon In A Ten Cents Down Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight Lord, Mary took to runnin' with a travelin' man Left her momma cryin' with her head in her hands Such a sad case, so broken-hearted She says, "Momma, gotta go, gotta get outta here Gotta get outta town, tired of hangin' around, Gotta roll on between the ditches" It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and round, nobody knows But the highway goes on forever That old highway goes on forever Lord, she never woulda done if she hadn't got drunk Hadn't started runnin' with a travelin' man If she hadn't started takin' those crazy chances She says, "Daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelin' 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 says, "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 Leavin' Lou'siana in the broad daylight" This is down in the swamplands, anything goes Alligator bait, and the bars don't close It's the real thing down in Lou'siana Didja ever see a Cajun when he really got mad Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad It gets real hot down in Lou'siana Well, the stranger bettter move it or he's gonna get killed Gonna have to move it or a shotgun will It ain't no time for lengthy speeches It ain't no time for lengthy speeches She says, "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 Leavin' Lou'siana in the broad daylight Leavin' Lou'siana in the broad daylight" It's just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go Round and round, nobody knows But the highway goes on forever That old highway rolls on forever There ain't no way to stop the water |
