Luyện nghe bài hát Black Cowboys

Raney William's playground was Haven's streets
Where he ran past melted and flower wreaths
Names and of the young black faces
Whose death and blood these 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 alive
I want you to come home from and stay inside

Raney'd do his work and put his books
There was a channel showed a Western everyday
And that brought him home books on the cowboys of the Oklahoma range
The Seminole scouts fought the tribes of the Great Plains

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

the Fall, the rain flooded these homes
In valley of dry bones
It fell hard and to the ground
It fell without a

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

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

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

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

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