《The Road Goes On Forever》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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