End Of the Road - Jerry Lee Lewis

Written by Jerry Lee Lewis
In this tough country rockabilly number, the narrator is eager to get things shaking with his love. He's planted at the titular end of the road. He doesn't care if he ever gets home! In fact, he claims he doesn't need anything. "Well the stars may not shine and neither the moon / What the heck, we don't want no moon." I get a kick out of that line; it's funny, blunt, and slightly unhinged, much like the Killer himself. The rolling piano lines interplay with surf-like guitar, but the piano is the star, of course.
