Luyện nghe bài hát Phantom 309

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

And things didn't work out, I was on my luck
Got a-roamin' 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 luck held out way
But, the third night I got stranded, way out of
At a cold, crossroads, rain was pourin' down.

I was and freezin', done caught a chill
When the lights of a big semi topped the Lord, I sure was glad to hear them air brakes come on
And I climbed in that cab, where I 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 the name", I told him mine
And he "The name of my rig is Phantom 309."

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

Well, we rode and talked the better of the night
When the lights of a stop came in sight
He said: "I'm sorry son, 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 "Have yourself a cup on old Big Joe."
When Joe and his rig out in the night
In flat, he was clean out of sight.

Well, I went 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 turned white.

Well, did I say something wrong? I with a halfway grin
He "Naw, this happens every now and then
Ever' in here knows Big Joe
But son, let me you what 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, Big Joe topped the hill
It could have been slaughter, but he his wheel.

Well, Joe lost control, went into a
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, have another cup and forget the dime
Keep it as a souvenir, from Big Joe and 309!"
