This day in music history.

December 9, 1956, The so called 'Million Dollar Session' takes place at Sun Records in Memphis, TN. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis gathered for an impromptu jam session. Two and a half hours of material were recorded at this session. None of the songs was released for nearly three decades. One of the songs they played was End Of The Road by Jerry Lee Lewis.
End Of The Road
Well the way is dark The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting At the end of the road
Well the stars may not shine Neither the moon
What the heck we don't want no moon
I'm waiting At the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Pull out the front, don't give me no sass
Take you foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Oh The way is dark The night is long I don't care
if I never get home
I'm waiting At the end of the road
You can jump in my Ford and give it some gas
Flip out the front, don't give me no sass
Take you foot slap it on the floor
When you get ahead we'll rock some more
Well the way is dark The night is long
I don't care if I never get home
I'm waiting At the end of the road
