Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »

	Sherry was a waitress
	At the only joint in town
	She had a reputation           
	As a girl who'd been around
	Down main street after midnight
	Brand new pack of cigs       
	A fresh one hanging from her lips
	A beer between her legs
	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
	Bolder than the rest
	He was goin' in 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
	One day he got caught
	But he was back in business
	When they set him free again

	Sonny's playin' eight ball
	At the joint where Sherry works
	When some drunken out of towner
	Put his hand up Sherry's skirt
	Sonny took his pool cue
	Laid the drunk out on the floor
	Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar
	Walked on out the door
	She's runnin' right behind him
	Reachin' for his hand

	They jumped into his pick-u
	Sonny jammed her down in gear
	Sonny looked at Sherry
	Said,"Let's get out of here
	The stars were high above them

	The moon was in the east
	The sun was setting on them
	When they reached Miami Beach
	They got a motel by the water
	And a quart of Bombay Gin

	They soon ran out of money
	But Sonny knew a man
	Who knew some Cuban refugees
	Who dealt in contreband
	Sonny met the Cuban
	In a house just off the route
	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 Cubans grabbed the goodies
	And Sonny grabbed the jack
	He broke the bathroom window
	And climbed on out the back
	Sherry drove the pick-up
	Through the alley on the side
	Where the lawman tackled Sonny
	And was reading him his rights
	She stepped out in the alley
	With a single shot four-te

	They left the lawman dyin'
	They made their get away
	Got back to the motel
	Just before the break of day
	Sonny gave her all the money
	And he blew a little kiss
	If they ask you how this happened
	Say i forced you into this
	She watched him as his tail lights
	Disappeared around the bend

	There's main street after midnight
	Just like it was before
	Twenty-one months later
	At the local grocery store
	Sherry buys a paper
	And a cold six pack of beer
	The headlines read that Sonny
	Is going to the chair
	She pulls back onto main street
	In her new Mercedes-Benz
