The Road Goes on Forever
作詞:Robert Earl (jr) Keen
Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around Then on Main Street after midnight, a brand new pack of cigs A fresh one hanging from her lips, a beer between her legs She'd ride down to the river and meet with all her friends The road goes on forever and the party never ends
Sonny was a loner, older than the rest He was goin' in the Navy, but he couldn't pass the test So he hung around town, sold a little pot The law caught wind of Sonny, one day he got caught But he was back in business when they set him free again The road goes on forever and the party never ends
Sonny's playin' eight-ball at the joint where Sherry works When some drunken out-of-towner put his hand up Sherry's skirt Sonny took his pool cue, laid the drunk out on the floor Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar, walked on out the door She's running right behind him, reaching for his hand The road goes on forever and the party never ends
They jumped into his pickup, Sonny jammed it down in gear Sonny looked at Sherry, said, 'Let's get on out of here' The stars were high above them, the moon was in the east The sun was setting on them when they reached Miami Beach They got a motel by the water, and a quart of Bombay Gin The road goes on forever and the party never ends

The Cubans grabbed the goodies, Sonny grabbed the jack He broke the bathroom window and climbed on out the back Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights She stepped out in the alley with a single shot .410 The road goes on forever and the party never ends
They left the lawman lying, they made their getaway They got back to the motel just before the break of day Sonny gave her all the money and he blew her a little kiss 'If they ask you how this happened, say I forced you into this' She watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend The road goes on forever and the party never ends
It's Main Street after midnight, just like it was before Twenty-one months later, at the local grocery store Sherry buys a paper and a cold six-pack of beer The headlines read that Sonny is going to the chair She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz The road goes on forever but the party never ends
