Luyện nghe bài hát Raelene Wheeler

Raeleen wheeler was the girl I loved
Through the last year of 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 the big dreams I had
And the songs I'd written, well, the needed bad
But a pretty girl more comfort and gold
Than a beat-up black notebook is likely to

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

Hollywood hopefuls an endangered breed
But luck is lightnin', and it sure struck me
The hit songs, the women, the standing-room
And twenty years of hard labor, on to it all
Louisiana headed east from Monroe
A bus for Jackson and a homecoming show
Staring through the glass at the flat miles beyond
Tryin' not to at a face that is gone

Hey, Raelene, a wife at 19, but I heard you out all right
And every now and again, I 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 coming down
When in the doorway an old flame, full-grown
Looking as ever, and entirely 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 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 second's time
Just before that old face as mine
I saw a strange, sad man in a rhinestone 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 half-dead, lookin' too hard, too long
His measured in nights that flashed and grew dim
no one really happy, least of all him

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

Hey, Raelene, it's a long way between the wantin' and the makin' it
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 still be in Jackson
