Luyện nghe bài hát Black Cowboys

Raney William's playground was among streets
Where he ran past melted and flower wreaths
and photos of the young black faces
Whose death and blood consecrated places

Raney's mother said stay at my side
For you are my blessing, you are my
It's your love here that keeps my soul
I want you to come home from and stay inside

do his work and put his books away
There was a channel showed a movie everyday
And that brought him books on the black cowboys of the Oklahoma range
The Seminole scouts that fought the tribes of the Plains

Summer come and the days long
Raney always had his mother's smile to on
Along the of stray bullets he made his way
To the warmth of her arms at the end of day

Come the Fall, the flooded these homes
In Ezekiel's of dry bones
It fell hard and dark to the
It without a sound

And they took up a man whose business was the boulevard
smile was fixed in a face that was never off guard
In the pipes 'neath the kitchen sink his secrets are
In the day, behind drawn in the next bedroom he slept

And she got in the days
The smile depended on dusted away
The arms that held him were no his own
He lay at his head pressed to her chest listening to the ghost in her bones

In the kitchen, Raney slipped his between the pipes
From a brown bag pulled hundred dollar bills and stuck it in his coat side
in the dark at his mother's bed
Brushed her and kissed her eyes

In the twilight Raney to the station on streets of stone
Through and Ohio his train drifted on
Through the small towns of Indiana the big crept
As he lay his head on his seat and slept

He and the towns gave way to muddy fields of green
Corn and cotton and nothing in between
Over the rutted hills of Oklahoma the red sun slipped and was
The rose and stripped the earth to its bone
