Luyện nghe bài hát Black Cowboys

Raney William's playground was among streets
he ran past melted candles and flower wreaths
Names and photos of the young 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 soul
I want you to come home from school and 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 that fought the tribes of the Great Plains

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

the Fall, the rain flooded these homes
In valley of dry bones
It fell and dark to the ground
It fell a sound

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

And she got lost in the
The Raney 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
a brown bag pulled five hundred dollar bills and stuck it in his coat side
Stood in the dark at his 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 train
As he lay his head back on his seat and

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