Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and by Corb Lund

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

Men introduced him to hard labour, moving earth and hay
Were all the options that were to the boy
And the men showed our Lester Lady Lucks appeal and blessed her
With a young disciple to enjoy

With the gamblin came the drinkin and the cocaine and the
accompanies a man whos falling down
And pretty soon the and the whoring every night
And pills and losing left his on the ground

Well there comes a time when even hardened men need to in
more and look within and be afraid
When a particularly rough night 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 what the needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together and dont that spirit of yours
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the weight of the world at your
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the fate of the world on the
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the hate of the world as whore

Well God led Lester to a lady who was finally worth the
He bought a ring and changed his and settled down
And he farmed his forty acres, a daughter, loved his Maker
his wife and earned respect all through the town

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

Well his life and home shattered and his wife and daughter battered
When the he knew so well came back around
An incontainable aggression induced to regress and
Coldly murder those raped the love hed found

It didnt take them long to find him or convict him or him
To a block full of wounded prisoner doom
Because despite his mothers will, her Cousins was a killer now
Whod never to leave the jailers tomb
