Luyện nghe bài hát Cooky and Lila

(D. Hickey)

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

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

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

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

When he
"Hi Lila, how a cup of coffee?
Take a load off, your shoes 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

Now as the nation rolls along, a semi down the highway
Casting lonely broken bodies in the grass along the
I've found a reason for believing in the future
Seeing Cooky and his Lila drinking coffee all

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

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