Luyện nghe bài hát A Bend In the River

(Mark Erelli)

It's a bend in the river
Where the water slows
Might not look much to you
But it's my

It ain't no
How town was born
It started with a farms
Then the mill and the store
since the work went south
And those wheels run
The bars got the churches
By at two to one

I've lived 'round
Since I was a kid
to dream of getting out
Just like the college did
Maybe I was
Without a rambling
You stay in one place enough
And it starts to feel home

(CHORUS)

I got here
It'll be two years this
I can see her in her mama's white
Every time I hear the bell ring
I know some said
She could do better me
But she was a girl on her own
And she was 19

Can't get em everything they
But I try to give em what they
Now and then I pull a shift
at the factory
When I see that little smile
in our backyard
Lord it it all worthwhile
Keeps me going when the going gets

(CHORUS)
not look like much to you
But our hometown

It's everyday
The signs are all
One more gone to seed
Another barn falling
Street's all boarded up
And cares I guess
Cause a place on the edge of town
everything for less

But in my dreams
I see the waters
When the river its banks
This is purified
is washed away
Clear to the line
And we can start all again
Maybe do a little next time
