The Road Goes On Forever (Album Version) - Joe Ely[00:00:00]

Written by：Robert Earl[00:00:02]

Sherry was a waitress[00:00:09]

At the only joint in town[00:00:11]

She had a reputation[00:00:14]

As a girl who'd been around[00:00:16]

Down main street after midnight[00:00:18]

Brand new pack of cigs[00:00:20]

A fresh one hanging from her lips[00:00:22]

A beer between her legs[00:00:25]

She rides down to the river[00:00:27]

And meets with all her friends[00:00:29]

The road goes on forever[00:00:31]

Party never ends[00:00:34]

Sonny was a loner[00:00:39]

Older than the rest[00:00:41]

He was goin' in the navy[00:00:43]

But couldn't pass the test[00:00:46]

So he hung around town[00:00:48]

He sold a little pot[00:00:50]

The law caught wind of Sonny[00:00:52]

And one day he got caught[00:00:54]

But he was back in business[00:00:57]

When they set him free again[00:00:59]

The road goes on forever[00:01:01]

The party never ends[00:01:03]

Sonny's playin' eight ball[00:01:09]

In the joint where Sherry works[00:01:11]

When some drunken out of towner[00:01:13]

Put his hand up Sherry's skirt[00:01:15]

Sonny took his pool cue[00:01:18]

Laid the drunk out on the floor[00:01:20]

Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar[00:01:22]

Walked on out the door[00:01:24]

She's running right behind him[00:01:26]

Reaching for his hand[00:01:28]

The road goes on forever[00:01:30]

And the party never ends[00:01:33]

They jumped into his pickup[00:01:42]

Sonny jammed it down in gear[00:01:45]

Sonny looked at Sherry[00:01:47]

Said let's get on out of here[00:01:49]

The stars were high above[00:01:51]

The moon was in the east[00:01:53]

The sun was setting on them[00:01:55]

When they reached Miami beach[00:01:57]

They got a Motel by the water[00:01:59]

A quart of Bombay Gin[00:02:01]

The road goes on forever[00:02:04]

And the party never ends[00:02:06]

They soon ran out of money[00:02:15]

But Sonny knew a man[00:02:18]

Who knew some Cuban refugees[00:02:20]

Who dealt in contraband[00:02:22]

Sonny met the Cubans[00:02:24]

In a house just off the route[00:02:26]

With a briefcase full of money[00:02:28]

And a pistol in his boot[00:02:30]

The card were on the table[00:02:32]

When the law came bustin' in[00:02:34]

The road goes on forever[00:02:37]

Party never ends[00:02:39]

The Cubans grabbed the goodies[00:02:44]

Sonny grabbed the jack[00:02:46]

He Broke the bathroom window[00:02:48]

And climbed on out the back[00:02:50]

Sherry drove the pickup[00:02:53]

Through the alley on the side[00:02:54]

Where a lawman tackled Sonny[00:02:56]

And was reading him his rights[00:02:59]

She stepped out in the alley[00:03:01]

With a single shot 410[00:03:03]

The road goes on forever[00:03:05]

And the party never ends[00:03:07]

They left the lawman lying[00:03:17]

They made their getaway[00:03:19]

They Got back to the Motel[00:03:21]

Just before the break of day[00:03:23]

Sonny gave her all the money[00:03:25]

And he blew a little kiss[00:03:27]

If they ask you how this happened[00:03:29]

Say I forced you into this[00:03:31]

She watched him as his tail lights[00:03:33]

Disappeared around the bend[00:03:36]

The road goes on forever[00:03:38]

And the party never ends[00:03:40]

It's main street after midnight[00:03:49]

Just like it was before[00:03:51]

Twenty one months later[00:03:54]

At the local grocery store[00:03:56]

Sherry buys a paper[00:03:58]

And a cold six pack of beer[00:04:00]

The headlines say that Sonny[00:04:02]

Is going to the chair[00:04:04]

She pulls back onto main street[00:04:06]

In her new Mercedes Benz[00:04:09]

The road goes on forever[00:04:11]

And the party never ends[00:04:13]
