Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

Leavin’ Louisiana in the Broad Daylight

The Oak Ridge Boys

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 say

Momma I gotta go

Gotta get outta here

Gotta get outta town

Tired of hangin’ around

I gotta roll on

Between the ditches

It’s just an ordinary story

‘Bout the way things go

Around 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 runnin’

With a travelin’ man

If she hadn’t started takin’

Those crazy chances

She say

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 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

Leavin’ 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 gone bad

It gets real hot

Down in Louisiana

Well 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

Leavin’ 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

Leavin’ Louisiana

In the broad daylight

It’s just an ordinary story

‘Bout the way things go

Around and around

Nobody knows

But the highway

Goes on forever

That ol’ highway

Rolls on forever

Y’all Come Back Saloon

The Oak Ridge Boys

She played

Tambourine

With a

Silver jingle

And she must have known the words

To at least a million tunes

But the one most requested

By the man she knew as Cowboy

Was the last night benediction

At the Y’all Come Back Saloon

In a voice soft and tremblin’

She’d sing her song to Cowboy

As a smoky halo circled ‘round

Her raven hair

And all the fallen angels

And pinball playin’ rounders

Stopped the games that they’d been playin’

For losers evenin’ prayer

Faded Love

And faded memories

How they linger

In her mind

Miles and years played the Cowboy

Like an old melody

Out of tune

And out of time

Every night in the shadows

Thinkin’ back on Amarillo

He’d dream of better days

And ask for Faded Love

Liftin’ high his glass in honor

Of the lady and her song

He paid his check then lonely walked

That broken cowboy home

She played

Tambourine

With a

Silver jingle

And she must have known the words

To at least a million tunes

But the one most requested

By the man she knew as Cowboy

Was the last night benediction

At the Y’all Come Back Saloon

She played

Tambourine

With a

Silver jingle

And she must have known the words

To at least a million tunes

But the one most requested

By the man she knew as Cowboy

Was the last night benediction

At the Y’all Come Back Saloon

She played

Tambourine

With a

Silver jingle

And she must have known the words

To at least a million tunes

But the one most requested

By the man she knew as Cowboy

Was the last night benediction

At the Y’all Come Back Saloon
