Lord, Mary took to runnin' with a travelin' man,
Left her momma cryin' with her head in her hands.

Gotta get out of town, tired of hanging around,
C/G G
Gotta roll on between the ditches.

But the highway goes on forever.

Oh, that 'ol highway goes on forever.

This is down in the swamp where anything goes,

There ain't no way to stop the water.
