Luyện nghe bài hát The Front Porch Song

Robert Earl Lovett

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

This old porch is a steamin' greasy plate of
lots of cheese and onions ans a guacamole salad
You can get at the LaSalle Hotel in old downtown
With ice tea and a who will smile every time
Oh yeah, I left a quarter tip on my ten dollar

This old porch is a palace walk in on a street in Texas
It ain't seen or heard the days of G's and R's and X's
And that '62 poster that's faded down
And a screen a picture since Giant came to town
Oh no, I those junior mints and the red hots too, yes I do

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

He says the Brazos still runs muddy like run all along
Theres never no cane to grind and the cotton's all but gone
You know this Chevrolet truck, hell she was somethin' back in '60
But now there won't nobody listen to him 'cause they all think he's

This old porch is just a time of waiting and forgetting
the coming back and not crying about the leaving
And remembering the falling down and the laughter of the curse of
From all those son's of who said we'd never get back up

This old porch is a big old red and white bull
Standing under a mesquite tree out in Agua
He keep's on playing hide and seek 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 there work is done.
