《The Road Goes on Forever》歌词

[00:00:00] The Road Goes On Forever - Highwaymen

[00:00:10] Sherry was a waitress

[00:00:12] At the only joint in town

[00:00:14] She had a reputation

[00:00:16] As a girl who'd been around

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

[00:00:20] With a brand new pack of cigs

[00:00:23] A fresh one hanging from her lips

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

[00:00:27] She'd ride down to the river

[00:00:29] And meet 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

[00:00:41] Bolder than the rest

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

[00:00:45] But he couldn't pass the test

[00:00:47] So he hung around town

[00:00:49] And he sold a little pot

[00:00:51] The law got wind of Sonny

[00:00:54] And one day he got caught

[00:00:56] But he was back in business

[00:00:57] When they set him free again

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

[00:01:02] And the party never ends

[00:01:08] Sonny's playin' eight ball

[00:01:09] At the joint where Sherry works

[00:01:12] Some drunken out-of-towner

[00:01:13] Put his hand up 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

[00:01:23] Walked out of the door

[00:01:25] She's runnin' right behind him

[00:01:27] Reachin' for his hand

[00:01:29] The road goes on forever

[00:01:31] And the party never ends

[00:01:37] They jumped into his pick-up

[00:01:39] Sonny jammed her down in gear

[00:01:41] Sonny looked at Sherry

[00:01:43] Said "Let's get on out of here "

[00:01:45] The stars were high above them

[00:01:47] The moon was in the east

[00:01:50] The sun was setting on them

[00:01:51] When they reached Miami Beach

[00:01:54] They got a motel by the water

[00:01:56] And a quart of Bombay Gin

[00:01:58] The road goes on forever

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

[00:02:06] They soon ran out of money

[00:02:08] But Sonny knew a man

[00:02:10] Who knew some Cuban refugees

[00:02:12] Who dealt in contraband

[00:02:15] Sonny met the Cuban

[00:02:16] In a house just off the route

[00:02:19] With a briefcase full of money

[00:02:21] And a pistol in his boot

[00:02:23] The cards were on the table

[00:02:25] When the law came bustin' in

[00:02:27] The road goes on forever

[00:02:29] And the party never ends

[00:02:35] The Cubans grabbed the goodies

[00:02:37] Sonny grabbed the jack

[00:02:39] He broke the bathroom window

[00:02:41] And climbed on out the back

[00:02:44] Sherry drove the pick-up

[00:02:46] Through the alley on the side

[00:02:48] Where the lawman tackled Sonny

[00:02:50] And was reading him his rights

[00:02:52] She stepped out in the alley

[00:02:54] With a single-shot four-ten

[00:02:57] The road goes on forever

[00:02:58] And the party never ends

[00:03:04] They left the lawman dyin'

[00:03:06] And they made their get away

[00:03:08] Got back to the motel

[00:03:10] Just before the break of day

[00:03:12] Sonny gave her all the money

[00:03:15] And he blew a little kiss

[00:03:17] If they ask you how this happened

[00:03:19] Say I forced you into this

[00:03:21] She watched him as his tail lights

[00:03:23] Disappeared around the bend

[00:03:25] The road goes on forever

[00:03:27] And the party never ends

[00:03:33] There's a main street after midnight

[00:03:35] Just like it was before

[00:03:37] Twenty-one months later

[00:03:39] At the local grocery store

[00:03:42] Sherry buys a paper

[00:03:43] And a cold six-pack of beer

[00:03:46] The headlines read that Sonny

[00:03:48] Is going to the chair

[00:03:50] She pulls back onto main street

[00:03:52] In her new Mercedes-Benz

[00:03:54] The road goes on forever

[00:03:56] And the party never ends
