The Road Goes On Forever

OPENER
Circle Left
Sherry was a waitress, at the only joint in town
She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around
Allemande Left Your Corner, Turn a right round your own
Do an Allemande Left your corner and weave on around you roam
Sonny was a loner, older than the rest
Was going in the navy but couldn’t pass the test
Now she's runnin’ right behind him, reachin’ for his hand
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
FIGURE
Heads you Promenade, Go Half Way Around
Walk In to the Middle, Square thru four Hands Around
Go All The Way, A Right and Left Thru You Know
Veer Over to the Left, Couples Circulate and Go
Half Tag, Follow Your Nabor and Spread, Swing
Swing That Lady Go round, Promenade The Ring
Now she's runnin’ right behind him, reachin’ for his hand
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
MIDDLE BREAK
Circle Left
They jumped into his pickup, Sonny jammed it down in gear
Sonny looke at Sherry said, let’s get outta here
Allemande Left Your Corner, Turn a right round your own
Do an Allemande Left your corner and weave on around you roam
They soon ran out of money, but Sonny knew a man
Who knew some other people who dealt in contraband
The cards were on the table, when the law come bustin in
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
CLOSER
Circle Left
Mainstreet after midnight, just like it was before
21 Months later, at the local grocery store
Allemande Left Your Corner, Turn a right round your own
Do an Allemande Left your corner and weave on around you roam
Sherry buys a paper, and a cold six pack of beer
The headlines read that Sonny, is going to the chair
She pulls back on main street, in her new Mercedes Benz
The road goes on forever and the party never ends
