The Road Goes On Forever (Live) - Robert Earl Keen [00:00:00]

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town[00:00:00]

She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around[00:00:04]

Down main street after midnight with a brand new pack of cigs[00:00:08]

A fresh one hangin' from her lips and a beer between her legs[00:00:13]

She'd ride down to the river and meet with all her friends[00:00:17]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:00:21]

Sonny was a loner he was older than the rest[00:00:29]

He was going into the navy but he couldn't pass the test[00:00:33]

So he hung around town he sold a little pot[00:00:37]

The law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught[00:00:41]

But he was back in business when they set him free again[00:00:45]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:00:49]

Sonny's playin' 8 ball at the joint where Sherry works[00:01:00]

When some drunken outta towner put his hand up Sherry's skirt[00:01:03]

Sonny took his pool cue laid the drunk out on the floor[00:01:07]

Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar and walked on out the door[00:01:10]

She's runnin' right behind him reachin' for his hand[00:01:13]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:01:17]

They jumped into his pick up Sonny jammed her down in gear[00:01:26]

Sonny looked at Sherry and said lets get on outta here[00:01:30]

The stars were high above them and the moon was in the east[00:01:33]

The sun was settin' on them when they reached miami beach[00:01:36]

They got a hotel by the water and a quart of bombay gin[00:01:39]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:01:43]

They soon ran out of money but Sonny knew a man[00:01:49]

Who knew some cuban refugees that delt in contraband[00:01:53]

Sonny met the cubans in a house just off the route[00:01:56]

With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot[00:01:59]

The cards were on the table when the law came bustin' in[00:02:03]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:02:06]

The cubans grabbed the goodies and Sonny grabbed the jack[00:02:12]

He broke a bathroom window and climbed on out the back[00:02:16]

Sherry drove the pick up through the alley on the side[00:02:19]

Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights[00:02:22]

She stepped into the alley with a single shot 410[00:02:25]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:02:29]

They left the lawman lyin' and they made their get away[00:03:33]

They got back to the motel just before the break of day[00:03:36]

Sonny gave her all the money and he blew her a little kiss[00:03:39]

If they ask you how this happened say I forced you into this[00:03:42]

She watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend[00:03:46]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:03:50]

Its main street after midnight just like it was before[00:03:56]

21 months later at the local grocery store[00:03:59]

Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6 pack of beer[00:04:03]

The headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair[00:04:07]

She pulls back onto main street in her new mercedes benz[00:04:11]

The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:04:15]
