Luyện nghe bài hát Black Cowboys

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

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 stay

do his work and put his books away
There was a channel showed a Western movie
And brought him home 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 had his mother's smile to depend on
Along the street of bullets he made his way
To the warmth of her at the end of each day

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

And they took up with a man business was the boulevard
smile was fixed in a face that was never off guard
In the pipes the kitchen 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 on dusted away
The that held him were no more his own
He lay at night his pressed to her chest listening to the ghost in her bones

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

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

He woke and the towns way to muddy fields of green
Corn and 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
