Luyện nghe bài hát Raelene Wheeler

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

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

Hollywood hopefuls an endangered breed
But luck is like lightnin', and it sure me
The hit songs, the women, the standing-room
And twenty of hard 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 at a face that is gone

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

Well, we killed 'em, we crushed 'em, burned the place to the
And in the dressing room quiet, I was still coming
When in the appeared an old flame, full-grown
Looking pretty as ever, and entirely
She said the divorce broke her, she was learning to stand
And as she talked it came clearer that she wanted a
So I her close to me, and I kissed my sweet rae
And the miles and the memories melted away

Then I glanced in the mirror, and in a split second's
Just before recognizing that old as mine
I saw a strange, sad man in a cheap shirt
And a woman he onto like his last hope on earth
He was worn and down as the road he'd been on
And his eyes were half-dead, too hard, too long
His life measured in that flashed and grew dim
no one really happy, least of all him

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

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