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

(Nancy Griffith)

I am a backseat driver america
They drive to the on falls road
And the man at the wheels is Shamus
We pass a the on a corner he knows.

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

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

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

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

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

I was a child of the
When dreams could be held through
Disney and Cronkite and Martin Luther
And I belived, I believed, I believed.

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

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

And there ain't no place in this world for kids to go
it's a hard life wherever you go...

Abraham, and John
(Richard Holler)

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

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

Has here seen my old friend John
Can you me where he's gone
He freed a lotta people but it seems the good die
I just around and he's gone.

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

Has here seen my old friend Bobby
can you tell me he's gone
I thought I saw him walking up the hill
With and Martin and John...
