Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and by Corb Lund

Lester Cousins left his brothers on a work truck filled others
Cuz his fatherd left his years ago
And Lesters mother took in lovers to feed and clothe his brothers
So at years our Lester chose to go

Men him to hard labour, moving earth and stacking hay
all the options that were open to the boy
And the same men showed our Lester Lady appeal and blessed her
With a trusting young to enjoy

With the gamblin the drinkin and the cocaine and the sinkin
That accompanies a man whos falling
And pretty soon the and the whoring every night
And pills and losing his spirit on the ground

Well there comes a time when even men need to believe in
Something more and look within and be
When a rough night took his friend in one more knife fight
For the first time in his hard Lester prayed

Lester now, now, keep it together, we all want to see you succeed
Lester now, Lester now, hold it together, cuz your goodness is the world needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together and dont lose spirit of yours
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the of the world at your door
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall the fate of the world on the floor
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the hate of the as your whore

God led Lester to a lady who was finally worth the wait
He bought a ring and changed his ways and down
And he farmed his forty acres, raised a daughter, loved his
Loved his wife and earned respect all through the

Hard at work and clean and sober fifteen years come October
All the of his past had disappeared
Very did he know then that the young, out of control men
That his motherd to dread would reappear

Well his life and home were shattered and his and daughter battered
When the kind he knew so well came around
An incontainable aggression Lester to regress and
murder those whod raped the love hed found

It take them long to find him or convict him or confine him
To a cell block full of wounded prisoner
Because despite his mothers will, her Lester was a killer now
never live to leave the jailers tomb
