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 Agua Dulce,
He on playin' hide and seek with that hot august sun
Sweatin' and a cause his work is never done
Oh no, those cows and a red top cane

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

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

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

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

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

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