I'm tired of hanging around

I gotta roll on between the ditches

Round and round nobody knows

But the highway goes on forever
E B
That old highway rolls on forever

If she hadn't started running with a traveling man

This is down in the swampland anything goes
It's alligator bait and the bars don't close
E B
It's the real thing down in Louisiana
B
Did you ever a cajun when he really got mad
Really got trouble like a daughter gone bad
E B
It gets real hot down in Louisiana
B
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
E B
It ain't no time for lengthy speaches
E B
There ain't no time for lengthy speaches

That ain't no way to stop the water
