Luyện nghe bài hát Raelene Wheeler

Raeleen wheeler was the first girl I
the last year of high school, we were thicker than blood
Holed up in Mississippi, and for fun
We made and dreamed up places to run
I was burnin' that with the big dreams I had
And the songs I'd written, well, the needed bad
But a girl needs more comfort and gold
Than a beat-up black is likely to hold

Hey, Raelene, it's a wide world between pearl and the bright L.A. lights
And if I'd done it all without dreamin' I'd be in Jackson tonight

Hollywood hopefuls ain't an breed
But luck is like lightnin', and it struck me
The hit songs, the women, the halls
And twenty years of labor, holdin' on to it all
Louisiana i-20 headed east Monroe
A bus bound for and a homecoming show
Staring through the dark at the flat miles beyond
Tryin' not to look at a face that is

Hey, Raelene, a wife at 19, but I you made out all right
And every now and again, I wonder are you somewhere in tonight

Well, we killed 'em, we 'em, burned the place to the ground
And in the room quiet, I was still coming down
in the doorway appeared an old flame, full-grown
Looking pretty as ever, and alone
She said the divorce nearly broke her, she was to stand
And as she talked it clearer that she wanted a hand
So I drew her close to me, and I kissed my rae
And the miles and the memories melted away

Then I glanced in the mirror, and in a split time
before recognizing that old face as mine
I saw a strange, sad man in a cheap rhinestone
And a he held onto like his last hope on earth
He was worn and trod as the road he'd been on
And his eyes half-dead, lookin' too hard, too long
His life in nights that flashed and grew dim
no one really happy, least of all him

Then the loading slammed, and I let my arms fall
We traded numbers, talk, promised to call
And as she faded from me, and the closed around
I picked up a black and I let it spill down

Hey, Raelene, it's a long way between the and the makin' it right
And if I was the one that you needed I'd never Jackson tonight
(Tag) yeah, if I had it all to do over I'd still be in Jackson
