Luyện nghe bài hát The Front Porch Song

Robert Earl Lovett

This old porch is a big ol' red and Herford bull
under a mesquite tree in Agua Dulce, Texas
He keeps on hide and seek with that hot august sun
Sweatin' and a pantin' his work is never done
Oh no, with those cows and a red top

This old porch is a greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and ans a guacamole salad
You can get them at the Hotel in old downtown
With ice tea and a waitress who smile every time
Oh yeah, I left a quarter tip on my ten bill

This old porch is a palace walk in on a main in Texas
It ain't never or heard the days of G's and R's and X's
And that '62 poster that's faded down
And a screen without a picture since Giant came to
Oh no, I like those junior mints and the red too, yes I do

This old porch is a weathered grey haired seventy years of Texas
doin' all he can not to give in to the city
And he takes my rent late so long as I run his cattle
He picks me up at time and I listen to him rattle

He says the Brazos still muddy like she's run all along
Theres been no cane to grind and the cotton's all but gone
You know this Chevrolet pickup truck, she was somethin' back in '60
But now there won't nobody to him 'cause they all think he's crazy

This old porch is a long time of waiting and forgetting
Remembering the coming and not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down and the laughter of the curse of
From all those son's of bitches who said we'd get back up

old porch is a big old red and white Herford bull
Standing a mesquite tree out in Agua Dulce
He on playing hide and seek with that hot August sun
Hes sweating and a panting 'cause his work is never
I've know a whole lot of bulls in my time, and work is never done.
