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

Sherry was a waitress[00:00:14]

At the only joint in town[00:00:17]

She had a reputation[00:00:20]

As a girl who'd got around[00:00:22]

Down Main Street after midnight[00:00:25]

With a brand new pack of cigs[00:00:27]

A fresh one hanging from her lips[00:00:30]

A beer between her legs[00:00:32]

She'd ride down to the river[00:00:34]

And meet with all her friends[00:00:37]

The road goes on forever[00:00:39]

And the party never ends[00:00:41]

Sonny was a loner[00:00:47]

Bolder than the rest[00:00:49]

He was goin' in the Navy[00:00:51]

But he couldn't pass the test[00:00:53]

So he hung around town[00:00:55]

And he sold a little pot[00:00:57]

The law got wind of Sonny[00:00:59]

One day he got caught[00:01:01]

But he was back in business[00:01:03]

When they set him free again[00:01:05]

The road goes on forever[00:01:08]

And the party never ends[00:01:10]

Sonny's playin' eight ball[00:01:15]

At the joint where Sherry works[00:01:17]

Some drunken out of towner[00:01:19]

Put his hand up Sherry's skirt[00:01:21]

Sonny took his pool cue[00:01:24]

Laid the drunk out on the floor[00:01:26]

Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar[00:01:28]

Walked out of the door[00:01:30]

She's runnin' right behind him[00:01:32]

Reachin' for his hand[00:01:34]

The road goes on forever[00:01:36]

And the party never ends[00:01:38]

They jumped into his pick up[00:01:47]

He jammed her down in gear[00:01:49]

Sonny looked at Sherry[00:01:51]

Said let's get on out of here[00:01:53]

The stars were high above them[00:01:55]

The moon was in the east[00:01:57]

The sun was setting on them[00:01:59]

When they reached Miami Beach[00:02:01]

They got a motel by the water[00:02:03]

And a quart of Bombay Gin[00:02:05]

The road goes on forever[00:02:08]

And the party never ends[00:02:09]

They soon ran out of money[00:02:18]

Sonny knew a man[00:02:20]

Who knew some Cuban refugees[00:02:22]

Who dealt in contraband[00:02:24]

Sonny met the Cuban[00:02:27]

In a house just off the route[00:02:29]

With a briefcase full of money[00:02:31]

And a pistol in his boot[00:02:33]

The cards were on the table[00:02:35]

When the law came bustin' in[00:02:37]

The road goes on forever[00:02:38]

And the party never ends[00:02:41]

The Cubans grabbed the goodies[00:02:50]

Sonny grabbed the jack[00:02:52]

He broke the bathroom window[00:02:54]

And climbed on out the back[00:02:56]

Sherry drove the pick up[00:02:58]

Through the alley on the side[00:03:00]

Where the lawman tackled Sonny[00:03:02]

And was reading him his rights[00:03:04]

She stepped out in the alley[00:03:06]

With a single shot four ten[00:03:08]

The road goes on forever[00:03:10]

And the party never ends[00:03:12]

They left the lawman dyin'[00:03:21]

And they made their get away[00:03:23]

They got back to the motel[00:03:25]

Just before the break of day[00:03:27]

Sonny gave her all the money[00:03:29]

And he blew a little kiss[00:03:31]

If they ask you how this happened[00:03:33]

Say I forced you into this[00:03:35]

She watched him as his tail lights[00:03:37]

Disappeared around the bend[00:03:39]

The road goes on forever[00:03:41]

And the party never ends[00:03:43]

But there's a main street after midnight[00:04:05]

Just like it was before[00:04:07]

Twenty one months later[00:04:09]

At the local grocery store[00:04:11]

Sherry buys a paper[00:04:13]

And a cold six pack of beer[00:04:15]

The headlines on the paper say[00:04:17]

Sonny is going to the chair[00:04:19]

She drive back onto main street[00:04:21]

In her new Mercedes Benz[00:04:24]

The road goes on forever[00:04:26]

And the party never ends[00:04:28]
