Luyện nghe bài hát Phantom 309

I was out on the West Coast, tryin' to a

And things didn't out, I was down on my luck
Got tired and bummin' around
So I started thumbin' back East, my home town.

Made a lot of miles, the two days
And I figured I'd be home in week, if my held out this way
But, the third night I got stranded, way out of
At a cold, crossroads, rain was pourin' down.

I was hungry and freezin', done caught a
When the of a big semi topped the hill Lord, I sure was glad to hear them air brakes come on
And I climbed in that cab, I knew it'd be warm.

At the wheel sit a big man, he weighed two-ten
He stuck out his hand and said with a
"Big Joe's the name", I him mine
And he "The name of my rig is Phantom 309."

I asked him why he called his rig a name
He "Son, this old Mack can put 'em all to shame
ain't a driver, or a rig, a-runnin' any line
Ain't seen nothin' but taillights from 309."

Well, we rode and talked the part of the night
When the lights of a stop came in sight
He said: "I'm son, this is as far as you go
'Cause, I gotta make a turn, on up the road."

Well, he tossed me a dime as he her in low
And "Have yourself a cup on old Big Joe."
Joe and his rig roared out in the night
In nothin' flat, he was out of sight.

Well, I went inside and me a cup
the waiter Big Joe was settin' me up
Aw!, you coulda a pin drop, it got deathly quiet
And the waiter's turned kinda white.

Well, did I say wrong? I said with a halfway grin
He said: "Naw, this happens every now and
Ever' driver in here Big Joe
But son, let me tell you what about ten years ago.

At the crossroads tonight, where you flagged him
There was a bus of kids, comin' from town
And they right in the middle, when Big Joe topped the hill
It could have slaughter, but he turned his wheel.

Well, Joe lost control, into a skid
And gave his life to save bunch-a kids
And at that crossroads, was the end of the line
For Big Joe and 309

But, every now and then, hiker'll come by
And like you, Big give 'em a ride
Here, another cup and forget about the dime
it as a souvenir, from Big Joe and Phantom 309!"
