The Road Goes On Forever

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town

She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around

Down Main Street after midnight with a brand new pack of ciggs

A fresh one hangin' from her lips and 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 endsSonny was a loner, he was older than the rest

He was going into the navy but he couldn't pass the test

So he hung around town, he sold a little pot

The law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught

But he is back in business when they set him free again

The road goes on forever and the party never endsSonny's playin' 8-ball at the joint where Sherry works

When some drunken outta 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 and walked on out the door

She's runnin' right behind him reachin' for his hand

The road goes on forever and the party never endsThey jumped into his pickup Sonny jammed her down in gear

Sonny looked at Sherry and said let's get on outta here

The stars were high above them and the moon was in the East

The sun was settin' 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 endsThey soon ran out of money but Sonny knew a man

Who knew some Cuban refugees that dealt in contraband

Sonny met the Cubans in a house just off the route

With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot

The cards were on the table when the law came bustin' in

The road goes on forever and the party never endsThe Cubans grabbed the goodies and Sonny grabbed the Jack

He broke a 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 into the alley with a single shot 410

The road goes on forever and the party never endsThey left the lawman lyin' and 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 endsIt's Main Street after midnight like it was before

21 months later at the local grocery store

Sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer

The headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair

She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz

The road goes on forever and the party never endsThe road goes on forever

The road goes on forever
