ShDerry was a waitress
At the only joint in town
She hGad a reputation
As a girl who'd been around
DoDwn main street after midnight
Brand new pack of cigs
A frGesh one hanging from her lips
A beer between her legs
She'Ad ride down to the river
And meet with all her friends
Chorus:(all together)
The rGoad goes on forever
And the party never eDnds
Verse 2:(Willie Nelson)
SoDnny was a loner
Bolder than the rest
He wGas goin' in the Navy
But he couldn't pass the test
So hDe hung around town
He sold a little pot
The lGaw caught wind of Sonny
One day he got caught
But Ahe was back in business
When they set him free again
Chorus.
Verse 3:(Waylon Jennings)
SoDnny's playin' eight ball
At the joint where Sherry works
WhGen some drunken out of towner
Put his hand up Sherry's skirt
SoDnny took his pool cue
Laid the drunk out on the floor
StGuffed a dollar in her tip jar
Walked on out the door
SheA's runnin' right behind him
Reachin' for his hand
Chorus.
Verse 4:(Johnny Cash)
ThDey jumped into his pick-up
Sonny jammed her down in gear
SoGnny looked at Sherry
Said,"Let's get out of here"
The stDars were high above them
The moon was in the east
The sGun was setting on them
When they reached Miami Beach
They gAot a motel by the water
And a quart of Bombay Gin
Chorus.
Verse 5:(Kris Kristofferson)
ThDey soon ran out of money
But Sonny knew a man
Who kGnew some Cuban refugees
Who dealt in contreband
SoDnny met the Cuban
In a house just off the route
WiGth a briefcase full of money
And a pistol in his boot
The caArds were on the table
When the law came bustin' in
Chorus.
Verse 6:(Willie Nelson)
The CDubans grabbed the goodies
And Sonny grabbed the jack
He bGroke the bathroom window
And climbed on out the back
SheDrry drove the pick-up
Through the alley on the side
WhGere the lawman tackled Sonny
And was reading him his rights
She Astepped out in the alley
With a single shot four-ten
Chorus.
Verse 7:(Waylon Jennings)
ThDey left the lawman dyin'
They made their get away
GoGt back to the motel
Just before the break of day
SonDny gave her all the money
And he blew a little kiss
If thGey ask you how this happened
Say i forced you into this
She waAtched him as his tail lights
Disappeared around the bend
Chorus.
Verse 8:(Johnny Cash)
ThDere's main street after midnight
Just like it was before
TweGnty-one months later
At the local grocery store
SheDrry buys a paper
And a cold six pack of beer
The heGadlines read that Sonny
Is going to the chair
She puAlls back onto main street
In her new Mercedes-Benz
