[Verse 1]
Sherry wasD a waitress At the only joint in town She had a repGutation
As a girl who'd been around
Down main Dstreet after midnight Brand new pack of cigs A fresh one Ghanging from her lips
A beer between her legs
She'd ride dAown to the river And meet with all her friends
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
Verse 2:(Willie Nelson)
Sonny was Da loner Bolder than the rest He was goin'G in the Navy
But he couldn't pass the test
So he hung aDround town He sold a little pot The law caughGt wind of Sonny
One day he got caught
But he was bAack in business When they set him free again
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
[Verse 3]
Sonny's plDayin' eight ball At the joint where Sherry works When some Gdrunken out of towner
Put his hand up Sherry's skirt
Sonny tookD his pool cue Laid the drunk out on the floor Stuffed a Gdollar in her tip jar
Walked on out the door
She's runniAn' right behind him Reachin' for his hand
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
[Verse]
They jumpeDd into his pick-up Sonny jammed her down in gear Sonny lookGed at Sherry
Said,"Let's get out of here"
The stars wereD high above them The moon was in the east The sun was sGetting on them
When they reached Miami Beach
They got a motAel by the water And a quart of Bombay Gin
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
[Verse]
They soon Dran out of money But Sonny knew a man Who knew someG Cuban refugees
Who dealt in contreband
Sonny met Dthe Cuban In a house just off the route With a briGefcase full of money
And a pistol in his boot
The cards wereA on the table When the law came bustin' in
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
[Verse]
The Cubans grDabbed the goodies And Sonny grabbed the jack He broke theG bathroom window
And climbed on out the back
Sherry drovDe the pick-up Through the alley on the side Where the Glawman tackled Sonny
And was reading him his rights
She stepped Aout in the alley With a single shot four-ten
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
[Verse]
They left Dthe lawman dyin' They made their get away Got back tGo the motel
Just before the break of day
Sonny gave Dher all the money And he blew a little kiss If they ask yGou how this happened
Say i forced you into this
She watched hiAm as his tail lights Disappeared around the bend
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
[Verse]
There's maDin street after midnight Just like it was before Twenty-one Gmonths later
At the local grocery store
Sherry buysD a paper And a cold six pack of beer The headlines Gread that Sonny
Is going to the chair
She pulls backA onto main street In her new Mercedes-Benz
[Chorus]
The road goesG on forever And the party never ends D
