The Road Goes On Forever Cifras

 D
Sherry was a waitress At the only joint in town
    G
She had a reputation As a girl who'd been around
D
Down main street after midnight Brand new pack of cigs
    G
A fresh one hanging from her lips A beer between her legs
       A
She'd ride down to the river And meet with all her friends
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
D
Sonny was a loner Bolder than the rest
    G
He was goin' in the Navy But he couldn't pass the test
    D
We hung around town He sold a little pot
     G
The law caught wind of Sonny One day he got caught
    A
But he was back in business When they set him free again
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
  D
Sonny's playin' eight ball At the joint where Sherry works
  G
When some drunken out of towner Put his hand up Sherry's skirt
 D
Sonny took his pool cue Laid the drunk out on the floor
   G
Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar Walked on out the door
    A
She's runnin' right behind him Reachin' for his hand
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
 D
They jumped into his pick-up Sonny jammed her down in gear
 G
Sonny looked at Sherry Said," Let's get out of here"
      D
The stars were high above them The  moon was in the east
     G
The sun was setting on them When they reached Miami Beach
     A
They got a motel by the water And a quart of Bombay Gin
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
   D
They soon ran out of money But Sonny knew a man
     G
Who knew some Cuban refugees Who dealt in contraband
  D
Sonny met the Cuban In a house just off the route
 G
With a briefcase full of money And a pistol in his boot
      A
The cards were on the table When the law came bustin' in
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
      D
The Cubans grabbed the goodies And Sonny grabbed the jack
     G
He broke the bathroom window And climbed on out the back
   D
Sherry drove the pick-up Through the alley on the side
  G
Where the lawman tackled Sonny And was reading him his rights
     A
She stepped out in the alley With a single shot four-ten
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
  D
They left the lawman dyin' They made their get away
  G
Got back to the motel Just before the break of day
   D
Sonny gave her all the money And he blew a little kiss
     G
If they ask you how this happened Say I forced you into this
      A
She watched him as his tail lights Disappeared around the bend
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
 
  D
There's main street after midnight Just like it was before
  G
Twenty-one months later At the local grocery store
   D
Sherry buys a paper And a cold six pack of beer
      G
The headlines read that Sonny Is going to the chair
      A
She pulls back onto main street In her new Mercedes-Benz
     G                                        D
The road goes on forever And the party never ends
