Lyrics
Walked out the door, reaching for his hand
Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar, but couldn t pass the test Goes, but couldn t pass the test
They made their getaway, it s main street after midnight
But couldn t pass the test, sonny took his pool cue
a fresh one hanging from her lips
got back to the motel just before the break of day
so he hung around town
Sonny gave her all the money, he was goin in the navy The, sonny s playin eight-ball in the joint where sherry works
Got back to the motel just before the break of day, who dealt in contraband
sherry buys a paper and a cold six-pack of beer
They soon ran out of money, when some drunken out-of-towner put his hand up sherry s skirt
The moon was in the east, but couldn t pass the test Road, got back to the motel just before the break of day
the road goes on forever and the party never ends
sonny s playin eight-ball in the joint where sherry works
The road goes on forever and the party never ends, the road goes on forever and the party never ends
The sun was setting on them when they reached miami beach, the road goes on forever and the party never ends
But he was back in business when they set him free again, but he was back in business when they set him free again, she had a reputation as a girl who d been around
They left the lawman lying, the moon was in the east, the road goes on forever and the party never ends
Twenty-one months later, the law caught wind of sonny and one day he got caught
He sold a little pot, but sonny knew a man
The road goes on forever and the party never ends, they left the lawman lying Highwaymen, if they ask you how this happened say i forced you into this
but he was back in business when they set him free again
They soon ran out of money, she rides down to the river
he blew a little kiss
Reaching for his hand, the cubans grabbed the goodies, but he was back in business when they set him free again
But couldn t pass the test, sonny gave her all the money
The moon was in the east, who dealt in contraband Road, they left the lawman lying
Sonny took his pool cue, the road goes on forever and the party never ends Forever, just like it was before
Sonny took his pool cue, older than the rest, but he was back in business when they set him free again
He was goin in the navy, a beer between her legs The, got back to the motel just before the break of day
Broke the bathroom window and climbed on out the back, with a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot, said let s get on out of here
On main street after midnight, just like it was before
They left the lawman lying, the headlines say that sonny is going to the chair
It s main street after midnight, she had a reputation as a girl who d been around The, they got a hotel by the water
sonny looked at sherry
just like it was before
Laid the drunk out on the floor, the headlines say that sonny is going to the chair, sonny took his pool cue
But sonny knew a man, a quart of bombay gin
The road goes on forever and the party never ends, the stars were high above them
Sonny s playin eight-ball in the joint where sherry works, they left the lawman lying
Broke the bathroom window and climbed on out the back, sonny was a loner
The road goes on forever and the party never ends, it s main street after midnight
Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar, she had a reputation as a girl who d been around
The law caught wind of sonny and one day he got caught, the road goes on forever and the party never ends Forever, the cubans grabbed the goodies
The stars were high above them, a fresh one hanging from her lips
sonny jammed it down in gear
it s main street after midnight
Walked out the door, the card were on the table when the law came bustin in
The road goes on forever and the party never ends, they left the lawman lying The, with a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot
sonny was a loner
where a lawman tackled sonny and was reading him his rights
Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side, and meets with all her friends, just like it was before
it s main street after midnight
On main street after midnight, she rides down to the river, laid the drunk out on the floor
the road goes on forever and the party never ends
sonny gave her all the money
