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

[00:00:14] Sherry was a waitress

[00:00:17] At the only joint in town

[00:00:20] She had a reputation

[00:00:22] As a girl who'd got around

[00:00:25] Down Main Street after midnight

[00:00:27] With a brand new pack of cigs

[00:00:30] A fresh one hanging from her lips

[00:00:32] A beer between her legs

[00:00:34] She'd ride down to the river

[00:00:37] And meet with all her friends

[00:00:39] The road goes on forever

[00:00:41] And the party never ends

[00:00:47] Sonny was a loner

[00:00:49] Bolder than the rest

[00:00:51] He was goin' in the Navy

[00:00:53] But he couldn't pass the test

[00:00:55] So he hung around town

[00:00:57] And he sold a little pot

[00:00:59] The law got wind of Sonny

[00:01:01] One day he got caught

[00:01:03] But he was back in business

[00:01:05] When they set him free again

[00:01:08] The road goes on forever

[00:01:10] And the party never ends

[00:01:15] Sonny's playin' eight ball

[00:01:17] At the joint where Sherry works

[00:01:19] Some drunken out of towner

[00:01:21] Put his hand up Sherry's skirt

[00:01:24] Sonny took his pool cue

[00:01:26] Laid the drunk out on the floor

[00:01:28] Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar

[00:01:30] Walked out of the door

[00:01:32] She's runnin' right behind him

[00:01:34] Reachin' for his hand

[00:01:36] The road goes on forever

[00:01:38] And the party never ends

[00:01:47] They jumped into his pick up

[00:01:49] He jammed her down in gear

[00:01:51] Sonny looked at Sherry

[00:01:53] Said let's get on out of here

[00:01:55] The stars were high above them

[00:01:57] The moon was in the east

[00:01:59] The sun was setting on them

[00:02:01] When they reached Miami Beach

[00:02:03] They got a motel by the water

[00:02:05] And a quart of Bombay Gin

[00:02:08] The road goes on forever

[00:02:09] And the party never ends

[00:02:18] They soon ran out of money

[00:02:20] Sonny knew a man

[00:02:22] Who knew some Cuban refugees

[00:02:24] Who dealt in contraband

[00:02:27] Sonny met the Cuban

[00:02:29] In a house just off the route

[00:02:31] With a briefcase full of money

[00:02:33] And a pistol in his boot

[00:02:35] The cards were on the table

[00:02:37] When the law came bustin' in

[00:02:38] The road goes on forever

[00:02:41] And the party never ends

[00:02:50] The Cubans grabbed the goodies

[00:02:52] Sonny grabbed the jack

[00:02:54] He broke the bathroom window

[00:02:56] And climbed on out the back

[00:02:58] Sherry drove the pick up

[00:03:00] Through the alley on the side

[00:03:02] Where the lawman tackled Sonny

[00:03:04] And was reading him his rights

[00:03:06] She stepped out in the alley

[00:03:08] With a single shot four ten

[00:03:10] The road goes on forever

[00:03:12] And the party never ends

[00:03:21] They left the lawman dyin'

[00:03:23] And they made their get away

[00:03:25] They got back to the motel

[00:03:27] Just before the break of day

[00:03:29] Sonny gave her all the money

[00:03:31] And he blew a little kiss

[00:03:33] If they ask you how this happened

[00:03:35] Say I forced you into this

[00:03:37] She watched him as his tail lights

[00:03:39] Disappeared around the bend

[00:03:41] The road goes on forever

[00:03:43] And the party never ends

[00:04:05] But there's a main street after midnight

[00:04:07] Just like it was before

[00:04:09] Twenty one months later

[00:04:11] At the local grocery store

[00:04:13] Sherry buys a paper

[00:04:15] And a cold six pack of beer

[00:04:17] The headlines on the paper say

[00:04:19] Sonny is going to the chair

[00:04:21] She drive back onto main street

[00:04:24] In her new Mercedes Benz

[00:04:26] The road goes on forever

[00:04:28] And the party never ends
