The Road Goes On Forever

	  		

Verse 1:

(Kris Kristofferson) 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 2:

(Willie Nelson) D Sonny was a loner Bolder than the rest G He was goin' in the Navy But he couldn't pass the test D So he 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 3:

(Waylon Jennings) 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 4:

(Johnny Cash) 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 5:

(Kris Kristofferson) D They soon ran out of money But Sonny knew a man G Who knew some Cuban refugees Who dealt in contreband 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 6:

(Willie Nelson) 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 7:

(Waylon Jennings) 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
tab

Verse 8:

(Johnny Cash) 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
tabchorus
(all together) G The road goes on forever D And the party never ends
