Luyện nghe bài hát It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go/Abraham Martin

(Nancy Griffith)

I am a backseat driver from
They drive to the left on falls
And the man at the name is Shamus
We a the child on a corner he knows.

And shamus says now what has that kid got
And I say from the back I know
He says there's wire at all of these exits
ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go.

And it's a hard life, it's a hard
It's a very life, it's a hard life wherever you go
And we poison our children hatred
And the hard life is all they know.

At the dairyline in
A fat man in of me
He's calling black people to his children
He's the only trash I see.

And I'm thinking this man wears a white
In the night his children should sleep
But they'll to their windows and see him
They'll think that hood's all they need.

And a hard life, it's a hard life
It's a very hard life, it's a hard wherever you go
And we our children with hatred
And the hard is all that they know.

I was a of the sixties
When dreams could be held tears
With and Cronkite and Martin Luther
And I belived, I believed, I believed.

Now I'm a backseat driver America
And I'm not at the wheel of
And I am guilty, I am worn, I am the of all evil
And I can't drive on the left of the road.

And it's a hard life, it's a life
It's a very hard life, it's a hard life you go
And we poison our children hatred
And the life is all that they know.

And there no place in this world for these kids to go
'Cause it's a life wherever you go...

Abraham, Martin and
(Richard Holler)

Has anybody here my old friend Abraham
Can you me where he's gone
He freed a lotta people but it seems the die young
I just looked and he's gone.

Has anybody seen my old friend Martin
Can you tell me where gone
He freed a lotta people but it the good die young
I just looked and he's gone.

Has anybody here seen my old John
Can you tell me where gone
He freed a lotta people but it seems the die young
I just looked around and gone.

you love the things they stood for
Didn't try to find some good
In you and me and we'll be
Someday soon it's be one day.

Has anybody here my old friend Bobby
can you tell me where gone
I thought I saw him walking up the hill
With Abraham and and John...
