Luyện nghe bài hát The Front Porch Song

Robert Earl Lovett

This old is a big ol' red and white Herford bull
Standin' under a mesquite tree in Agua Dulce,
He keeps on playin' 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
lots of cheese and onions ans a guacamole salad
You can get them at the Hotel in old downtown
With ice tea and a waitress who will smile time
Oh yeah, I a quarter tip on my ten dollar bill

This old porch is a walk in on a main street in Texas
It never seen or heard 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 came to
Oh no, I like those junior and the red hots too, yes I do

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

He says the Brazos still runs like she's run all along
Theres never been no cane to grind and the 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 they all he's crazy

This old porch is just a long time of waiting and
Remembering the coming back and not about the leaving
And the falling down and the laughter of the curse of luck
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 keep's on playing hide and with that hot August sun
Hes sweating and a panting 'cause his is never done
I've a whole lot of bulls in my time, and there work is never done.
