Luyện nghe bài hát A Bend In the River

(Mark Erelli)

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

It no mystery
How this was born
It with a couple farms
Then the mill and the general
Ever since the went south
And those don't run
The got the churches beat
By at two to one

lived 'round here
Since I was a kid
Used to of getting out
like the college boys did
Maybe I was
Without a bone
You stay in one long enough
And it to feel like home

(CHORUS)

I got married
It'll be two this spring
I can see her in her mama's dress
time I hear the church bell ring
I know some folks
She could do better me
But she was a girl on her own
And she was 19

get em everything they want
But I try to em what they need
Now and then I a graveyard shift
at the factory
When I see that little smile
Playing in our
Lord it makes it all
Keeps me going when the going hard

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

changing everyday
The are all around
One field gone to seed
Another barn down
Street's all boarded up
And nobody cares I
there's a place on the edge of town
Selling everything for

But sometimes in my
I see the waters
the river jumps its banks
This is purified
is washed away
Clear to the county
And we can all over again
do a little better next time
