Luyện nghe bài hát Cooky and Lila

(D. Hickey)

He was a short order cook, and not too much to at
And he in his foot, for a medal in the war
He a girl named Lila, in a bar across the highway
And you to see him smilin' at her comin' through the door

Lila always knew, she wasn't no beauty
She in her virtue to a trucker at sixteen
But she to remember how he left her off in Denver
When she sees her Cooky smilin' as she up the screen

And he
"Hi Lila, how about a cup of
Take a load off, take your shoes off, the sugar and the cream"
Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to
And both of them are casualties of someone dream

Cooky pours the coffee, Lila serves the rigger's whiskey
And resists their invitations to go ridin' for a
'Cause at a diner across the highway, on a above the pastry
There's a cup reserved for and the man who makes her smile

he says
"Hi Lila, how about a cup of
Take a load off, take your off, here's the sugar and the cream"
'Cause been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are casualties of else's dream

Now as the nation rolls along, like a down the highway
Casting lonely broken bodies in the along the road
finally found a reason for believing in the future
Seeing and his Lila drinking coffee all alone

Oh yes
"Hi Lila, how a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, take your off, here's the sugar and the cream"
'Cause Cooky's been to war and Lila's been to
And both of them are casualties of someone else's

Cooky's to war, Lord and Lila's been to Denver
And of them are casualties of someone else's dream
