Luyện nghe bài hát The Great Hank

Then was the time
I saw the great Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia,
and he was all dressed up in drag
From his rose red to his rhinestone hips he belted
out song after song as he drank from a paper bag
And the songs he sang of and pain,
so pure reflections of human imperfections,
it near choked me up
But the rest of the show, was of slow
And someone woke me up

on the Astros were silently beating the living crap
out of Cincinnati on the TV
and a little to the left of the great Williams' head
As a busty suicide blonde waitress poured him a shot of 'whatever you got'
and said "I thought you were dead"
The pool balls cracked as he tilted his back
and her how he had been a big star but now country music was full of freaks
He sat there, in the TV
Mascara streaked his

When I was only sixteen years old I went from Houston to
with a spunky stunningly handsome woman in a Bug
She was grown with some all her own,
a committment-free divorcee, and I was a man in
We had only one tape but it was of the late great
Hank and we sang in two-part harmony
"Hey good lookin', how's cookin'
Something up me"

Back at the bar they were last call
so I gave the barmaid a card to pay up my tab
The TV was off and the stage was dark
and the Hank Williams was gone so I asked her to call me a cab
She said if you like I can you a ride,
so we were out the door and into the city of brotherly love
Into the night, out of
In a VW Bug
