《The Road Goes On Forever(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Road Goes On Forever (Album Version) - Joe Ely

[00:00:09] Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town

[00:00:14] She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around

[00:00:18] On Main Street after midnight

[00:00:20] A brand new pack of cigs

[00:00:22] A fresh one hanging from her lips

[00:00:25] A beer between her legs

[00:00:27] She rides down to the river

[00:00:29] And meets with all her friends

[00:00:31] The road goes on forever

[00:00:33] And the party never ends

[00:00:39] Sonny was a loner older than the rest

[00:00:43] He was goin' in the Navy

[00:00:46] But couldn't pass the test

[00:00:48] So he hung around town he sold a little pot

[00:00:52] The law caught wind of Sonny and one day

[00:00:55] He got caught

[00:00:57] But he was back in business

[00:00:59] When they set him free again

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

[00:01:09] Sonny's playin' eight-ball in the joint where Sherry works

[00:01:13] When some drunken out-of-towner put his hand up

[00:01:16] Sherry's skirt

[00:01:18] Sonny took his pool cue

[00:01:20] laid the drunk out on the floor

[00:01:22] Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar walked out the door

[00:01:26] She's running right behind him reaching for his hand

[00:01:30] The road goes on forever and the party never ends

[00:01:42] They jumped into his pickup

[00:01:44] Sonny jammed it down in gear

[00:01:47] Sonny looked at Sherry said "Let's get on out of here"

[00:01:51] The stars were high above them

[00:01:53] The moon was in the east

[00:01:55] The sun was setting on them

[00:01:57] When they reached Miami Beach

[00:01:59] They got a hotel by the water a quart of Bombay Gin

[00:02:04] The road goes on forever and the party never ends

[00:02:15] They soon ran out of money but 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 Cubans in a house just off the route

[00:02:28] With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot

[00:02:32] The card were on the table when the law came bustin' in

[00:02:36] The road goes on forever and the party never ends

[00:02:44] The Cubans grabbed the goodies

[00:02:46] Sonny grabbed the jack

[00:02:48] Broke the bathroom window and climbed on out the back

[00:02:52] Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side

[00:02:57] Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights

[00:03:01] She stepped out in the alley with a single shot 410

[00:03:05] The road goes on forever and the party never ends

[00:03:17] They left the lawman lying they made their getaway

[00:03:21] Got back to the motel just before the break of day

[00:03:25] Sonny gave her all the money he blew a little kiss

[00:03:29] If they ask you how this happened say

[00:03:32] I forced you into this

[00:03:33] She watched him as his taillights

[00:03:36] Disappeared around the bend

[00:03:38] The road goes on forever and the party never ends

[00:03:49] It's Main Street after midnight just like it was before

[00:03:54] Twenty-one months later at the local grocery store

[00:03:58] Sherry buys a paper and a cold six-pack of beer

[00:04:02] The headlines say that Sonny is going 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
