Luyện nghe bài hát Cottenseed

I came to tell my story to all young and eager minds
To look in unspoiled faces and their curious bright eyes
of corruption, crime and killing, yes it's true
Greed and fixed elections, guns and drugs and and booze

It's been a while I put on a suit of my own clothes
And longer since I cast my shadow on a church house door
They say sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong
I'm guilty of all and I don't feel too bad at all

I used to have a wad of hundred dollar in the back pocket of my suit
I had a .45 underneath my coat and another one in my
I drove a big ole Cadillac, bought a new one I pleased
And I put more in the ground than Alabama put cottonseed

I spent a few years on vacation, sanctioned by the I mentioned
But a man like me don't do no too hard to come back from
The meanest of the mean, I see you away and toss the key
But they're all just loud mouth punks to me, I've scraped off my shoe

Somewhere, I ain't saying, there's a that holds a judge
The one that I dug myself
And I admit I was sad to lay him in it, but I did the best I could
Once his Honor grows a conscience, well folks, that just ain't no good

There's a pretty girl out there said "Daddy, you stay tonight
All I need from you is to come and be here by my side
Say what you gotta say to shut their Bibles and mouths
If they was to tie a noose, they'd have to lay their down"

I ain't here to save no souls and if I could
I could never save enough to put half the ones I took
So if rest in torment you can't say it's cause of me
They'd been bought and paid for like that fool's in Tennessee
