The Road Goes on Forever by REK
I think this is how he played it on West Textures and on live performances

Capo 7

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town 
C9
She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around
G
Down mainstreet after midnight a brand new pack of cigs
C9 
A fresh one hangin from her lips a beer between her legs 
D
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 older than the rest 
he was goin into the navy but he couldn't pass the test
so he hung around town he sold a little pot
the law caught 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 playin eight ball at the joint where Sherry works
when some drunkin out-a-towner put his hands up sherrys skirt
sonny took his pool cue laid the drunk out on the floor
stuffed a dollar in her tip jar and walked on out the door
shes runnin right behind him reachin for his hand 
The Road Goes on Forever and the Party Never Ends

Well they jumped into his pickup sonny jammed er down in gear 
sonny looked at sherry said "let's get on outa here"
the stars were high above em the moon was in the east 
the sun was settin on em 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
that knew some cuban refugees that dealt in contraband
sonny met the cubans in a house just off the routes 
with a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot
the cards were on the table when the law came bustin in
The Road Goes on Forever and The Party Never Ends

The Cubans grabbed the goodies and sonny grabbed the jack
he broke a bathroom window and climbed on out the back
sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side
where a lawman tackled sonny and was readin him his rights
she stepped into the alley with a single-shot 410
The Road Goes on Forever and The Party Never Ends

They left the lawman lyin as they made thier getaway 
got back to the motel just before the brake of day
sonny gave her all the money and he blew her a little kiss
"if they ask you how this happened say i forced you into this"
she watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend
The Road Goes on Forever and The Party Never Ends

It's mainstreet after midnight just like it was before
21 months later at the local grocery store
sherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer
the headlines read that sonny is goin to the chair
she pulls back onto mainstreet in her new mercedes benz 
The Road Goes on Forever and The Party Never Ends
