Oak Ridge Boys - Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight

Oak Ridge Boys Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight live Perfomance
Oak Ridge Boys Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight lyrics
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,
That ol' highway rolls on forever.
Lord, she never would’ve done it if she hadn't got drunk
If she hadn't started running with a travelling man
If she hadn't started taking those crazy chances,
She say, daughter, let me tell you 'bout the travelling' 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 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.
This is down in the swampland, 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
When he really got trouble like a daughter goin’ bad
It gets real hot down in Louisiana.
The stranger better move it or he's gonna get killed
He's gonna have to get it or a shotgun will
It ain't no time for lengthy speeches
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.
Just an ordinary story 'bout the way things go
'Round and around nobody knows
But the highway goes on forever,
That old highway rolls on forever.

This kind of country was so good. Each of these guys were so talented. I just can't get into this new stuff.

[@deannawarrior4yah771]

They still sing and are putting out new CD every few years. Find them on Facebook or Instagram. Also have done some great gospel with the Gsithers in the past, but still available, I think.

[@Navyguy1990]

I agree! This “new country” crap they’re playing these days is nothing more than watered down R&B. It’s Beyonce with a fiddle! 🙄🤦‍♂️

Takes me back to the 80s. So much good music came out of that decade and so many memories.

We love The Oakridge Boys in Mobile Alabama!!!! William Lee Golden...a PROUD Brewton Alabama Man. Mobile is about 70 miles south of Brewton Alabama.

Saw them last night at The Grand Ole Opry. Still have the same energy. Maybe alot older, but still can move a crowd.

[@KittyPounder247]

I miss county music ❤️

[@Thebassmaster1988]

The manager said "we're playin live boys, get a suit!" I see they all had different ideas of a suit.😜

[@joe6096]

One of the ORB's first country chart toppers. This came out around 1978-79. Put them on the map beyond their gospel roots that date back to the 1940s. This was a couple years before Elivra, which would pretty much turn them into a household name in America as they'd cross over to the pop charts with that one.

[@joegunnary2592]

Awesome awesome and awesome

[@martyspence6758]

I love this group! They sing country and gospel. I don’t think you will hear them singing about drinking and cheating in their songs! They are good clean wholesome country songs. Best harmony of any group I’ve ever heard! Love their gospel songs!

[@samm4980]

The Statler Brothers May edge them out on harmony in my book, but I love them both!

[@user-zx2xn1kj3u]

Yes they are good, but I don't think I've ever heard their gospel. Do you like the Statler Brothers gospel? Claudia Heinowski

[@MrDbrizzle]

Except for this song, in which they sing about drinking, lol. And about 10 more of their songs which sing about both cheating AND drinking!

[@Condorman12]

can anybody else imagine a duo of Richard Sterban and Harold Reid ?

[@gilbertb8078]

Richard is always the Classy dresser.I admire his taste.

Rodney Crowell wrote this in reference to Mary Kay Place. Talking about her wild youth times. The line about, Mary took to runnin' with a travelin' man.

A Great Song by a Great Group

[@user-ig7gb4wb7s]

A lot of truth in this song. No one sings better than the Oak Ridge Boys.

[@contumelious-8440]

Well, if no one sings better, then all the people who sing to become the best singer might as well quit since no one can sing better. (you are an idiot)

Great music and the guitar was on point. The harmony is definitely different level.

They also sung this song on the TV Show Dukes of Hazzard, during season 3 of The State of the County episode.

[@kimkelly5512]

He looked great.

[@monerz1]

Country music recorded after 2012 is what is known as, "classic country". It's the best. The old stuff back when Trish Yearwood weighed less than 275 really wasn't that good.

[@pjchmiel]

Love this song and performance, even though all four members are dressed like they're in different bands. :) I think Richard's (deep voice) microphone was turned way down in this song, I can hardly hear him most of the time. I can hear Joe loud and clear, but it could just be that he's slightly off time with the rest so he stands out more. Thanks for sharing!

[@pjchmiel]

I did subscribe, you've got lots of wonderful old country content. After listening to several versions of this song, I think this performance is my favorite, better than the album version and better than either Rodney Crowell or even Emmylou Harris' versions. Cheers!
