Mary kept a-runnin' with a travelin' man
Left her mama cryin' with her head in her hands
[F] Just a sad case, [C] so brokenhearted _
She said, Mama, gotta go, gotta get outta here
Gotta get outta town, I'm tired of hangin' [F] around
I gotta roll on between [C] the _ ditches
It's just an ordinary story about the way things go
Around and around, nobody knows
[F] But the highway goes [C] on forever
That [F] old highway goes [C] on forever _
She _ _ _ never would've known it if she hadn't gotten drunk
Hadn't started runnin' with a travelin' man
[F] She hadn't started thinkin' [Am] who's [C] crazy, can't say
_ She said, Darla, let me tell you about this travelin' guy
And every week, oh, this is a very short [F] time
Give me a long bond [C] before you know it
Ooh, [F] give me a long bond before [C] you _ _ wait
_ _ [Am]
She never had a [G] gun and it really felt so [F] good
Never had a new look and I [C] mean, life's [Am] good
Never had a [G] gun and it really looked so [F] right
Even in the M.A. and the prophet died

[G] Down in the swamp planet of big gold
It's alligator bait and the boys gon' throw it
It's [C] a real pain
Down [G] in Louisiana
You ever see a kid when he really got mad
He really got drunk like a daughter [D] gone bad
[C] It's a real hot
Down in [G] Louisiana
See the baby, he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get another shotgun
Well, [C] it ain't no time for [G] lame disputes
_ Oh, [C] it ain't no time for [G] lame disputes _ _ _
_ _ [Em] She said, never had a [D] gun and it really felt so [C] good
Never had a new [G] look and I mean, life's good
Never had a [D] gun and it really looked so [C] right
Even in the M.A. and the prophet died _ _
_ _ It's just [G] an ordinary story about the way things go
Round and around
_ [C] But the highway goes [G] on forever
That [C] old highway [G] goes on forever
_ Thank _ _ _
