Luyện nghe bài hát Cooky and Lila

(D. Hickey)

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

always knew, she wasn't no ravin' beauty
She traded in her virtue to a trucker at
But she forgets to remember how he her off in Denver
When she her Cooky smilin' as she opens up the screen

And he
"Hi Lila, how a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, your shoes off, here's the sugar and the cream"
been to war and Lila's been to Denver
And both of them are of someone else's dream

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

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

Now as the rolls along, like a semi down the highway
Casting lonely bodies in the grass along the road
I've finally found a reason for believing in the
Seeing Cooky and his Lila coffee all alone

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

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