The Road Goes On Forever (Album Version) - Joe Ely[00:00:00]
Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town [00:00:09]
She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around [00:00:14]
On Main Street after midnight [00:00:18]
A 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]
And the party never ends [00:00:33]
Sonny was a loner older than the rest [00:00:39]
He was goin' in the Navy [00:00:43]
But couldn't pass the test [00:00:46]
So he hung around town he sold a little pot [00:00:48]
The law caught wind of Sonny and one day[00:00:52]
He got caught [00:00:55]
But he was back in business[00:00:57]
When they set him free again [00:00:59]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends [00:01:01]
Sonny's playin' eight-ball in the joint where Sherry works[00:01:09]
When some drunken out-of-towner put his hand up[00:01:13]
Sherry's skirt [00:01:16]
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 walked out the door [00:01:22]
She's running right behind him reaching for his hand [00:01:26]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends [00:01:30]
They jumped into his pickup [00:01:42]
Sonny jammed it down in gear [00:01:44]
Sonny looked at Sherry said "Let's get on out of here" [00:01:47]
The stars were high above them [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 hotel by the water a quart of Bombay Gin [00:01:59]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends [00:02:04]
They soon ran out of money but Sonny knew a man [00:02:15]
Who knew some Cuban refugees [00:02:20]
Who dealt in contraband [00:02:22]
Sonny met the Cubans in a house just off the route [00:02:24]
With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot [00:02:28]
The card were on the table when the law came bustin' in [00:02:32]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends [00:02:36]
The Cubans grabbed the goodies [00:02:44]
Sonny grabbed the jack [00:02:46]
Broke the bathroom window and climbed on out the back [00:02:48]
Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side [00:02:52]
Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights [00:02:57]
She stepped out in the alley with a single shot 410 [00:03:01]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends [00:03:05]
They left the lawman lying they made their getaway [00:03:17]
Got back to the motel just before the break of day [00:03:21]
Sonny gave her all the money he blew a little kiss [00:03:25]
If they ask you how this happened say[00:03:29]
I forced you into this [00:03:32]
She watched him as his taillights[00:03:33]
Disappeared around the bend [00:03:36]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends [00:03:38]
It's Main Street after midnight just like it was before [00:03:49]
Twenty-one months later at the local grocery store [00:03:54]
Sherry buys a paper and a cold six-pack of beer [00:03:58]
The headlines say that Sonny is going to the chair [00:04:02]
She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz [00:04:07]
The road goes on forever and the party never ends[00:04:11]
