Luyện nghe bài hát Highway 17

I put away fifteen grand doing one-night stands mostly liquor stores and fillin'
Me and this peepin' Tom by the name of J.D. Swan and any number of his odd relations
This was armed robbery 1957 and our getaways were clean
Then I'd pay off the boys and bury my bread out on 17

I had five kids and a wife with one dress and a yard full of cars that wouldn't
My two boys they were on to my noise they despised what their daddy done
But I did my thing the best I could plans by the light of day
And night would fall and it was time to call and I was always on my way

Now J.D. he was crazy and he was inbred he drank whiskey like it was goin' out of
You know I should have seen it coming the writing was on the wall he was just a little too loose and wild
Annd he made his mistake out on Airline Drive, you know those North Houston are quick
They a hole in J.D. the size of Dallas and put a lump on my head with the brunt of a nightstick

You know in Huntsville ain't no good times boys but I walked that line do you know what I mean
'Cause my mind was snug on hole I dug out on Highway 17
I said my mind was snug on that I dug out on Highway 17

So I served my time only way I knew how big and making plans
All about the way I was gonna change the world when I get my hands on 15 grand
You C.W. and Herschel my two oldest boys they took care of their momma and their little sisters the best way that they could
Dealing and stealing hubcaps you know pretty soon they were doing good
So I walked out those prison a free man on the first day of November 19 and '63
I kissed my wife and I hugged my babies but they didn't seem the to me

You know the looked on they were already grown it was written across their eyes and their faces
I'm the sample of a bad example gone forever from their graces
But baby six long years and a lot can change many miles your wildest dreams
But a six-lane wide interstate ride out on Highway 17
Lord they my ship 'neath a concrete strip out on Highway 17
Man they broke my back built a concrete track out on Highway 17
Well, you know it ain't but they buried my money out on Highway 17
