Luyện nghe bài hát Half a Life Away

Gill and Galloway were working
On a summers in '58
In a small town, Alabama
In the U.S.A.

Two cops were on the door
Of a young black boy, it was a to four
said, "Hey, nigger, hit the floor
You're to be history"

Pop Bickham was the black man
He couldn't it out, he didn't understand
But when come with their guns, you do what you can
So he picked up his rifle and he shot down

They said, "He killed in cold blood"
And the jury, agreed
said, "You'll be sorry for what you've done"
And the whole they agreed

They picked you up and they sent you
A black boy in a rich white town
And for thirty eight you never made a sound
That was half a life away, half a life

You see one of the cops had to hide
He'd raped Pop's sister more than or twice
And Pop wasn't going to let it go time
So the cops had to him out

But the courtroom hear all of the story
They back facts from the all white jury
No doubt, what the verdict be
Take him down, he's

They you up and they sent you down
A poor black boy in a white town
And for thirty eight years you never a sound
That was half a life

All these in a prison cell
Never once complaining half life gone to hell
All because of hatred and
a better man than me

They you up and they sent you down
A poor black boy in a white town
And for thirty years you never made a sound
That was half a away, oh, ohh

They you up and they sent you down
A poor black boy in a rich white
And for eight years you never made a sound
That was half a life away, a life away
