The Road Goes On Forever

A Estrada Nunca Acaba

The Road Goes On Forever

Sherry era garçonete no único bar da cidadeSherry was a waitress at the only joint in town
Ela tinha a fama de ser uma garota que já tinha rodadoShe had a reputation as a girl who'd been around
Pela Rua Principal depois da meia-noite com um maço novo de cigarroDown Main Street after midnight with a brand new pack of cigs
Um fresco pendurado nos lábios e uma cerveja entre as pernasA fresh one hangin' from her lips and a beer between her legs
Ela ia até o rio e encontrava todos os amigosShe'd ride down to the river and meet with all her friends
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

Sonny era um solitário, mais velho que os outrosSonny was a loner he was older than the rest
Ele ia se alistar na Marinha, mas não passou no testeHe was going into the Navy but he couldn't pass the test
Então ficou pela cidade, vendia um pouco de maconhaSo he hung around town he sold a little pot
A polícia ficou sabendo do Sonny e um dia ele foi pegoThe law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught
Mas ele voltou ao negócio quando o soltaram de novoBut he was back in business when they set him free again
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

Sonny jogava sinuca no bar onde Sherry trabalhavaSonny's playin' 8-ball at the joint where Sherry works
Quando um bêbado de fora colocou a mão na saia da SherryWhen some drunken outta towner put his hand up Sherry's skirt
Sonny pegou seu taco e derrubou o bêbado no chãoSonny took his pool cue laid the drunk out on the floor
Colocou um dólar no jarro de gorjetas e saiu pela portaStuffed a dollar in her tip jar and walked on out the door
Ela corria logo atrás dele, estendendo a mãoShe's runnin' right behind him reachin' for his hand
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

Eles pularam na caminhonete, Sonny engatou a marchaThey jumped into his pickup Sonny jammed her down in gear
Sonny olhou para Sherry e disse "vamos sair daqui"Sonny looked at Sherry and said lets get on outta here
As estrelas brilhavam acima deles e a lua estava a lesteThe stars were high above them and the moon was in the east
O sol estava se pondo quando chegaram em Miami BeachThe sun was settin' on them when they reached Miami Beach
Eles pegaram um hotel à beira da água e um litro de gin BombayThey got a hotel by the water and a quart of Bombay gin
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

Logo ficaram sem dinheiro, mas Sonny conhecia um caraThey soon ran out of money but Sonny knew a man
Que conhecia alguns refugiados cubanos que lidavam com contrabandoWho knew some Cuban refugees that delt in contraband
Sonny encontrou os cubanos em uma casa perto da rotaSonny met the Cubans in a house just off the route
Com uma maleta cheia de grana e uma pistola na botaWith a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot
As cartas estavam na mesa quando a polícia invadiuThe cards were on the table when the law came bustin' in
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

Os cubanos pegaram as coisas e Sonny pegou o JackThe Cubans grabbed the goodies and Sonny grabbed the Jack
Ele quebrou uma janela do banheiro e saiu pela parte de trásHe broke a bathroom window and climbed on out the back
Sherry dirigiu a caminhonete pelo beco ao ladoSherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side
Onde um policial derrubou Sonny e estava lendo seus direitosWhere a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights
Ela entrou no beco com um tiro de .410She stepped into the alley with a single shot .410
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

Eles deixaram o policial caído e fizeram sua fugaThey left the lawman lyin' and they made their getaway
Voltaram para o motel bem antes do amanhecerThey got back to the motel just before the break of day
Sonny deu a ela todo o dinheiro e mandou um beijinhoSonny gave her all the money and he blew her a little kiss
Se perguntarem como isso aconteceu, diga que eu te forcei a issoIf they ask you how this happened say I forced you into this
Ela o observou enquanto as luzes traseiras desapareciam na curvaShe watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends

É a Rua Principal depois da meia-noite, como sempre foiIts Main Street after midnight just like it was before
21 meses depois, na mercearia local21 months later at the local grocery store
Sherry compra um jornal e um pack de cerveja geladaSherry buys a paper and a cold 6-pack of beer
As manchetes dizem que Sonny vai para a cadeiraThe headlines read that Sonny is goin' to the chair
Ela volta para a Rua Principal em seu novo Mercedes BenzShe pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz
A estrada nunca acaba e a festa nunca terminaThe road goes on forever and the party never ends
