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 cigs
A fresh one hanging from her lips
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 ends
Sonny was a loner
Bolder than the rest
He was going in the Navy
But he couldn't pass the test
So he hung around town
And he sold a little pot
The law got wind of Sonny
And one day he got caught
But he was back in business
When they set him free again
The road goes on forever
And the party never ends
Sonny's playing eight ball
At the joint where Sherry works
Some drunken out-of-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
Walked out of the door
She's running right behind him
Reaching for his hand
The road goes on forever
And the party never ends
They jumped into his pick-up
Sonny jammed her down in gear
Sonny looked at Sherry
Said, "Let's get on out of here."
The stars were high above them
The moon was in the east
The sun was setting 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 ends
They soon ran out of money
But Sonny knew a man
Who knew some Cuban refugees
Who dealt in contraband
Sonny met the Cuban
In a house just off the route
With a briefcase full of money
And a pistol in his boot
