Luyện nghe bài hát Cottenseed

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

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

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

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

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

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

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