The Road Goes on Forever is an album by American country supergroup The Highwaymen. It was first released in 1995 on Liberty Records, then on November 8, 2005 the album was re-released on Capitol/EMI with bonus tracks and, in some versions, an extra DVD for the album's 10th anniversary. The DVD includes a music video for "It Is What It Is", as well as a short documentary entitled Live Forever - In the Studio with the Highwaymen. This was The Highwaymen's last album prior to Jennings' death in 2002.

The title track of this album was written by Robert Earl Keen, Jr. and originally recorded on his 1989 album, West Textures. It is a signature song of Keen's, as well as a sort of informal school song for Keen's alma mater, Texas A&M University.
