Luyện nghe bài hát Raelene Wheeler

Raeleen wheeler was the first girl I
Through the 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 summer with the big I had
And the songs I'd written, well, the world bad
But a girl needs more comfort and gold
Than a black notebook 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 endangered
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
i-20 headed east from Monroe
A bus bound for and a homecoming show
Staring through the dark glass at the flat miles
not to look at a face that is gone

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 crushed 'em, burned the place to the
And in the dressing room quiet, I was coming down
When in the appeared an old flame, full-grown
Looking as ever, and entirely alone
She said the divorce nearly her, she was learning to stand
And as she talked it clearer that she wanted a hand
So I drew her to me, and I kissed my sweet rae
And the and the memories just melted away

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

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

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