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

[00:00:02] Written by：Robert Earl

[00:00:09] Sherry was a waitress

[00:00:11] 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] 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

[00:00:34] Party never ends

[00:00:39] Sonny was a loner

[00:00:41] 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

[00:00:50] He sold a little pot

[00:00:52] The law caught wind of Sonny

[00:00:54] And one day 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

[00:01:03] The party never ends

[00:01:09] Sonny's playin' eight ball

[00:01:11] In the joint where Sherry works

[00:01:13] When some drunken out of towner

[00:01:15] Put his hand up 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

[00:01:24] Walked on out the door

[00:01:26] She's running right behind him

[00:01:28] Reaching for his hand

[00:01:30] The road goes on forever

[00:01:33] And the party never ends

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

[00:01:45] Sonny jammed it down in gear

[00:01:47] Sonny looked at Sherry

[00:01:49] Said let's get on out of here

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

[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 Motel by the water

[00:02:01] A quart of Bombay Gin

[00:02:04] The road goes on forever

[00:02:06] And the party never ends

[00:02:15] They soon ran out of money

[00:02:18] 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

[00:02:26] In a house just off the route

[00:02:28] With a briefcase full of money

[00:02:30] And a pistol in his boot

[00:02:32] The card were on the table

[00:02:34] When the law came bustin' in

[00:02:37] The road goes on forever

[00:02:39] Party never ends

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

[00:02:46] Sonny grabbed the jack

[00:02:48] He Broke the bathroom window

[00:02:50] And climbed on out the back

[00:02:53] Sherry drove the pickup

[00:02:54] Through the alley on the side

[00:02:56] Where a lawman tackled Sonny

[00:02:59] And was reading him his rights

[00:03:01] She stepped out in the alley

[00:03:03] With a single shot 410

[00:03:05] The road goes on forever

[00:03:07] And the party never ends

[00:03:17] They left the lawman lying

[00:03:19] They made their getaway

[00:03:21] They Got back to the Motel

[00:03:23] Just before the break of day

[00:03:25] Sonny gave her all the money

[00:03:27] And he blew a little kiss

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

[00:03:31] Say I forced you into this

[00:03:33] She watched him as his tail lights

[00:03:36] Disappeared around the bend

[00:03:38] The road goes on forever

[00:03:40] And the party never ends

[00:03:49] It's main street after midnight

[00:03:51] Just like it was before

[00:03:54] Twenty one months later

[00:03:56] At the local grocery store

[00:03:58] Sherry buys a paper

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

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

[00:04:04] Is going to the chair

[00:04:06] She pulls back onto main street

[00:04:09] In her new Mercedes Benz

[00:04:11] The road goes on forever

[00:04:13] And the party never ends
