Luyện nghe bài hát Black Cowboys

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

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

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

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

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

And they took up with a man whose was the boulevard
Whose smile was fixed in a face that was off guard
In the pipes 'neath the sink his secrets are kept
In the day, behind drawn curtains in the next bedroom he

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

In the kitchen, slipped his hand 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 walked 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 and slept

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