Luyện nghe bài hát Phantom 309

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

And things didn't work out, I was down on my
Got a-roamin' and bummin' around
So I started back East, toward my home town.

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

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

At the sit a big man, he weighed about two-ten
He stuck out his hand and said with a
"Big Joe's the name", I told him
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
There a driver, or a rig, a-runnin' any line
Ain't seen nothin' but taillights from 309."

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

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

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

Well, did I say something wrong? I said with a halfway
He "Naw, this happens every now and then
driver in here knows Big Joe
But son, let me tell you happened about ten years ago.

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

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

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