Luyện nghe bài hát Phantom 309

I was out on the West Coast, to make a

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

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

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

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

I asked him why he called his rig such a
He said: "Son, old Mack can put 'em all to shame
There a driver, or a rig, a-runnin' any line
seen nothin' but taillights from Phantom 309."

Well, we rode and talked the part 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 gotta a turn, just on up the road."

Well, he tossed me a as he pulled her in low
And said: "Have a cup on old Big Joe."
When Joe and his rig roared out in the
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 coulda heard a pin drop, it got deathly
And the waiter's face kinda white.

Well, did I say something wrong? I said a halfway grin
He "Naw, this happens every now and then
Ever' 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 could have slaughter, but he turned his wheel.

Well, Joe lost control, went into a
And gave his life to save that bunch-a
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 give 'em a ride
Here, have another cup and forget about the
Keep it as a souvenir, from Big Joe and 309!"
