Luyện nghe bài hát Phantom 309

I was out on the West Coast, to make a

And things didn't out, I was down on my luck
Got tired and bummin' around
So I started thumbin' 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 night I got stranded, way out of town
At a cold, lonely crossroads, was pourin' down.

I was hungry and freezin', caught a chill
When the 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 wheel sit a big man, he weighed two-ten
He stuck out his hand and with a grin
"Big the name", I told him mine
And he said: "The of my rig is Phantom 309."

I asked him why he his rig such 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 nothin' but taillights from Phantom 309."

Well, we rode and the better 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 a turn, just on up the road."

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

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

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

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

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

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