We Rednecks prefer to be called Appalachian Americans, thank you very much.... Now git and let me enjoy the fuckin song. Makin too damn much noise. Cain't hear the damn thang.
You don't have to be a redneck or a Texan to love this song or Robert Earl Keen. It's pure Americana...our common American heritage, north, south, east, and west. They are the songs of our humanity. Thanks!
WHO FUNDS THESE AHOLES SCHUBE? Why that would be the Klch Bros, criminal conspiracy, And The shitheels are still holding the guy in custody that meant to cut the Brooklyn Bridge down with an acetylyne torch. What the hell is wrong with peoplee>
@TwistedJr69th... What drugs are you on? Toby Keith can't even spell Road Goes on Forever.. The highwaymen version is okay and Joe Ely has an awesome version.
Ive been lookin for this song EVERYWHERE but i had no clue what it was called or who it was by..and is it just me or does Toby Keiths song, Bullets in the gun sound similar??
Anytime and everytime i hear this song it reminds me of my crazy Army buddy (Lil Lou) -- 4-wheel drive truck (always mudcaked couldn't tell the actual color), always had his ice chest of beer , he couldn't tell his date of rank or standing orders , his uniform was always missing something ( button, rank, ect.) but he could knock down the 300 meter silohuettes or set up ambush sites , knew his night land navigation -- great soldier -- always playing this song -- good luck wherever you are LOU
@bloodlight58 Well,it's said that no combat unit ever passed a readiness inspection.I was the same way in the Navy,always getting gigged at inspection for uniform or shaving but when heavy lifting was needed or any other deck sailor job came up,I was the first one they gave it to.
@14omega28ok Lived in Guthrie Oklahoma was in job corps been in and out of Oklahoma all my life.Still hate 3.2 beer Just Saying .Have a good one Later Six
@ThunderUpOKC89 alright then, enlighten me. B4 REK, who inspired all of today's Red Dirt country artists. With Red Dirt as a category of country music, different from Honky Tonk for obvious reasons, I'd say REK, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt are its other influences.
But alright Okie, who from Stillwater would you credit to the birth of red dirt country?
30 years ago, I had long hair, a 69 Z-28 Camaro, pot by the pound, and chicks by the flock. We partied like there was no tomorrow! Man, those were the days! This song brings back memories! 30 years seems like a lifetime ago! It sucks gettin old! But I sure have some wild stories to tell the grandkids!
all the small cop stations across america are pot enterprises...stealing from the people and giving the wealth to themselves... sellin' it up the cop line all the way to New York City... believe it...it's true
@butlerdawgs78 How so?This one's about a woman who hooks up with a wannabe and leaves him to face the music.The video to "Bullets in the Gun" shows her shooting the guy in the back but the song doesn't really say that.
Robert Earl Keen songs make me home sick. I grew up in B/CS. Lived on Luther St then on College Main. You could hear the cannon go off and hear Midnight Yell. I have a lot of these songs on MP3 and my kids love them too.
all of you morans are fuckin retarded. which one of you can show me an iq score at genius level? none? thats what i thought. why dont you let the smart people worry about the environmrnt and just listen to the music
@69emohater69 Actually, you were that title much better than I with your stupidly showing your ignorance with that post. It's the exact same song with a few words changed around. It's kind of like the movie industry, when a really good movie comes out and then copy cats follow with their own rewrites. The follow-ups may have the same theme and similar story line, but never match the original. now EMOHATER, go 69 with your partner, F U K T A R D!!!
i am always amazed how folks can find a way to make a song their own - from our climatology expert to our green brothers & sisters --incidentally, not sure where the bored76 pontiac fellow gets his scientific data but it is mind bogglingly inaccurate other than the Prius jab - clearly there's a hole in the ozone among other items that humans have caused -but heck let's just shut up & enjoy the song--
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So is this Keen's schtick? To basically sing about pot smokers and be some country music equivalent of Bruce Springteen's anti-American crap? Screw him.
@bootybooty44 Bull global warming is a crock we are globally cooling right now and our trucks dont effect the enviornment nearly as bad as your prius. Just making a prius is worse for the enviornment then driving a truck for years. We have no impact on global warming it is a natural change of the earth. we are entering another ice age as we speak and the Ice caps are bigger now then ever recorded. quit being a sheep and learn something. ~ Proud owner of a gas guzzling pontiac grand prix.
uh no, absolutely not. you're being one of those stereotypical mislead people. global warming is not a myth, trust me, it's happening. i feel really sorry for you if you feel that way, and it's people with that type of ignorance that are the reason environmental legislature is not passed and we keep destroying our planet.
keep up the ignorance brother. oh, and vote for palin while you're at it
Yeah, and how's your hero Obammy doing? Uh last I checked, destroying our economy! Go peddle your nonsense somewhere else. Down here in Texas, we listen to REK, Waylon & Willie and don't need the government telling what's best for us. This Christams eve, I thank god I live in the Republic of Texas!!
This is seriously one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. It would be cool if they made a movie about this, because I think alot of people, including me would like to know more about Sonny and Sherry.
think if petty crime stopped tommorow [im not talking about random murder, and extreme shit like gangs [even though she shot a lawman but stfu im trying to make a point here]] policemen would be awfully bored , AND this awsome song would lose its meaning :O so go rob some drug dealers PLZ [crimes ok [not murda] against actual criminals [ei: drug dealers] rob em blind and leave em with their trousers]
Yeah we were going to save the world, Peace,Love, and Flower power. Our parents generation were way out of touch. What a bunch of fools we are. All we do now is lie,cheat and steal. I believe we are worst generation this world has ever seen. Look what we have done. And this is the legacy we leave. Hate and corruption on every level. All we really are, is a good example of a morally bankrupt generation. Leaving our children and grandchildren to clean up the mess. May God forgive us.
@bc78260 Every generation has it's own cross to bare. The baby boomers have given this world a lot. Sure we were idealistic in our youth but that's no different than in any other generation. I'm proud to be a baby boomer.
id like to dedicate this song to my best friend who recently had drowned along with 2 other amazing guys. This ones for you buddy, ill cherish our memories forever.
First heard this song while travelling back from Colorado in May 2001. KHYI 95.3 The Range played GOOD STUFF....Jerry Jeff, Guy Clark, and...Robert Earl Keen. I was ruined after that. And thankfully so.
I lived and loved this song for a lot of years, laid many a drunk out with a pool cue for gettin' fresh with a waitress, never ran off to miami ( well and had a girl shoot a lawman anyway)
"BEST biker song ever" --- ( fuck the law I'm a - 1%er) - The road and the party goes on forever :) ...... Bar fights are just apart of it . NOTHING BETTER then the open road and raising hell----- I;m still looking for a wild chick - to come ride with me
I think you're full of shit, bud. If you were a one percenter then shouldn't you be out attending to group business, instead of bragging about shit on the internet? You aint a one percenter.
I adore this song; I'm the new generation, but still epicfun! -giggle- I know many people who agree with philosiphy, but I'm happy being a very clean, strange young lady. ^.^
The photo at 0:46 is fucking hilarious. It makes me want go ski some deep powder. HA HA HA HA there's a happy dude HA HA HA under all those gallon bags of bud.
The law didn't so much "catch wind" of Sonny as it caught a whiff of the dank skunk from Sonny's bud bags
Man, years ago when this song first came out I loved it. As time goes by I still love this song but I did not think I would ever be borrowing the title as an analogy to our (Baby Boomers) lives today. Yeah, we really thought "The road goes on forever and the party never ends"............................
@bc78260 great analogy of the baby boomers, being the worst generation ever, did nothing for the world but rob and kill and in the end, left the world to die. The party was over long ago, baby boomers need to die off already.
i learned this song when i was 6 and 8 years later i funally got to see him live!!! everyone has to go see him in concert and it was a great show!!! but if you do u have to get right up infront so your looking up at them!!! the road goes on forever and the party never ends!!!!!!
Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett are the reason Texas Country is what it is today. Just listen to this song and then put on some Pat Green. Robert and Pat sound VERY simular, you will be able to hear REK's influence in Pat Green's voice
I would say that you have only mentioned two of several people that made Texas country music what it is today. You left out Townes, Jerry Jeff, Guy, Steve, Willie, Ray Wiley, and The Road Goes on Forever!!!
You're entitled to your opinion. It's pretty weak to think that Texas music was shaped by just two people when you have all these other great writers, singers, and pickers that have been around doing their thing long before L.L. and REK even got started good. But---Whatever....
you're f'in crazy Jerry Jeff, Ray Wiley, Guy, and Townes were "popularizin'" Texas Music when REK and Lovett (college roomates and aggies BTW) were still in grade school. 'sides, we don't care if it's "popular", screw you, we're from TEXAS
@probinson1337 all very true, those guys, who are great, wouldn't be the same without writers and performers like Townes and Jerry Jeff and Ray Wiley Hubbard... and to quote our wonderful state motto: Fuck y'all, I'm from Texas! ;)
oookkkkk...ooohhh you are SO so tough in email LOL!!..com'on you 12 year old idiot..you think what you type scares people? LOL!!!!...Im sorry,bt HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!1
ha if you ever watch the movie BLOW with Johnny Depp the part where he gets set up at the end by his friends fits this perfectly.(the part that your talking about)
its a country song. how many other country songs deal with killing someone? Lyle Lovett's "LA County." Johnny Cash "Folsom Prison Blues" and those are just two off the top of my head. Its a song, its a great song, it tells a great story.
only 10 percent of people arrested are actually a threat to society everyone else is just enslaved or made to pay money to the state for having a gram of a plant on them
Sounds like you have been picked up and consider yourself in the other 90%. Yeah, right. Break the law, do the time. Just stay straight, it's a lot less trouble and you don't feel near as bad the next day. Stupid is, Stupid does.
I don't wear "panties"! I'll let you handle that one.
I do know that, at one time, that was my prescription for life. I have since had a slight change. Amazing how a little time "away" will make you see things a little different. By the way, who is Dude? My name is Coley!!!
Robert Earl Keen is a legend in Texas! Seen him at least a dozen times all over South Texas. Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Gary P. Nunn, Kevin Fowler, David Allen Coe, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, CCR, Randy Rogers Band, Aaron Watson, old Pat Green, Cory Morrow, Roger Creager, Charlie Robison, Jason Boland, Wade Bowen, Billy Joe Shaver, Reckless Kelly, Stoney LaRue, old Jack Ingram, Cooder Graw and of course Guy Clark are what Texas Country is all about!
I think you got 'em all, I used to live north of dallas and this music kept me alive (thanks KHYI)...good times long behind me as is the great state of Texas but the music lives on... peace
It was originally released in 1989 on the album West Textures. A longer version was released in 2001 on the album Gravitational Forces, and a live version appears on the 2006 album and DVD Live at the Ryman: The Greatest Show Ever Been Gave.
The song is one of Keen's signature songs and has been covered by various other musical artists, including Joe Ely on 1992's Love & Danger and by The Highwaymen on their album The Road Goes On Forever, released in 1995 and 2005.
wow i love this song heard it when i was a kid in del rio texas. i love robert earl keen, david allen coe, wille waylon and everyone who can play some good music, and love there country
my family is from del rio! bad ass!!!!!!! i agree, robert earl keen, david allen coe, cross canadian ragweed, deryl dodd, old pat green and aaron watson are worth listening to!
p.s.-if you like pantera....pantera is BAD ASS! great taste in music my friend!
this song is great i have heard it twice. once on 93.7 early in the morning on here in austin texas and i heard it the other day on 98.1 kvet yesterday. this is a greeat song loved by all obviously
I love the concert version that The Great Divide use to do- back when Mike McClure was the Front Man. The Road Goes on Forever and the party finally did end.
We Rednecks prefer to be called Appalachian Americans, thank you very much.... Now git and let me enjoy the fuckin song. Makin too damn much noise. Cain't hear the damn thang.

I lived and loved this song for a lot of years, laid many a drunk out with a pool cue for gettin' fresh with a waitress, never ran off to miami ( well and had a girl shoot a lawman anyway)

I think you're full of shit, bud. If you were a one percenter then shouldn't you be out attending to group business, instead of bragging about shit on the internet? You aint a one percenter.

Man, years ago when this song first came out I loved it. As time goes by I still love this song but I did not think I would ever be borrowing the title as an analogy to our (Baby Boomers) lives today. Yeah, we really thought "The road goes on forever and the party never ends"............................

@bc78260 great analogy of the baby boomers, being the worst generation ever, did nothing for the world but rob and kill and in the end, left the world to die. The party was over long ago, baby boomers need to die off already.

Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett are the reason Texas Country is what it is today. Just listen to this song and then put on some Pat Green. Robert and Pat sound VERY simular, you will be able to hear REK's influence in Pat Green's voice

I would say that you have only mentioned two of several people that made Texas country music what it is today. You left out Townes, Jerry Jeff, Guy, Steve, Willie, Ray Wiley, and The Road Goes on Forever!!!
coleyman1 2 years ago
*correction* I should've said that Lyle and REK popularized Texas Country. I still think those two had the largest influence on the genre tho...
jsa4ever92 2 years ago
You're entitled to your opinion. It's pretty weak to think that Texas music was shaped by just two people when you have all these other great writers, singers, and pickers that have been around doing their thing long before L.L. and REK even got started good. But---Whatever....
coleyman1 2 years ago
you're f'in crazy Jerry Jeff, Ray Wiley, Guy, and Townes were "popularizin'" Texas Music when REK and Lovett (college roomates and aggies BTW) were still in grade school. 'sides, we don't care if it's "popular", screw you, we're from TEXAS
probinson1337 1 year ago 2
@probinson1337 all very true, those guys, who are great, wouldn't be the same without writers and performers like Townes and Jerry Jeff and Ray Wiley Hubbard... and to quote our wonderful state motto: Fuck y'all, I'm from Texas! ;)

One poster did make the comment:
"The Cubans grabbed the goodies, Sonny grabbed the jack."
the goodies = the contraban (drugs...)
the jack = the money
This video says the Cubans got the money and Sonny litteraly grabed a jack! Funny.

its a country song. how many other country songs deal with killing someone? Lyle Lovett's "LA County." Johnny Cash "Folsom Prison Blues" and those are just two off the top of my head. Its a song, its a great song, it tells a great story.

Robert Earl Keen is a legend in Texas! Seen him at least a dozen times all over South Texas. Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff Walker, Gary P. Nunn, Kevin Fowler, David Allen Coe, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, CCR, Randy Rogers Band, Aaron Watson, old Pat Green, Cory Morrow, Roger Creager, Charlie Robison, Jason Boland, Wade Bowen, Billy Joe Shaver, Reckless Kelly, Stoney LaRue, old Jack Ingram, Cooder Graw and of course Guy Clark are what Texas Country is all about!

Dont forget the guy who first wrote this song JOE ELY in case most of you didnt know
tec6506 3 years ago
i think not:
It was originally released in 1989 on the album West Textures. A longer version was released in 2001 on the album Gravitational Forces, and a live version appears on the 2006 album and DVD Live at the Ryman: The Greatest Show Ever Been Gave.
The song is one of Keen's signature songs and has been covered by various other musical artists, including Joe Ely on 1992's Love & Danger and by The Highwaymen on their album The Road Goes On Forever, released in 1995 and 2005.
