Luyện nghe bài hát Half a Life Away

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

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

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

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

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

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

But the didn't hear all of the story
They held back from the all white jury
No doubt, what the would be
Take him down, guilty

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

All these years in a cell
once complaining half your life gone to hell
All because of and bigotry
a better man than me

They picked you up and they sent you
A poor black boy in a rich town
And for eight years you never made a sound
That was a life away, oh, ohh

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