Luyện nghe bài hát The River

On a Friday where I grew up
There a whole lot you can do
The same ole' faces the ole' places
nothin' ever new

After the football game hang around
The high school lot
we'd pile into a couple of cars
And head off to our favorite

to the river
We went to the

My sophomore year was a copy
Of the ones that before
'Til a night in late
That shook us all down to the

We'd won the game by twenty
wait to celebrate
But our lead car was goin' way too
They even hit the breaks

They went into the
Deep in the

We buried Laurie
In the clothes that she'd been
Her cheerleader outfit never
So out of

sweater and that pleated skirt
Of blue and white and
Just didn't belong in shiny silver case

I moved here to
On May of eighty-nine
And I started gettin' letters once a
From friend of mine

I'd gone to school with Christine
From on
She'd say, "Hang in 'cause
I just know gonna be a star"

She and her boyfriend and a couple of
I she met through him
Set out for the Des Cygne
To try to off by takin' a swim

There'd been a lot of that summer
And the current was too
I heard they did all they
But Christine she was

Into the
She there in the river

I was baptized in that same
Gave my to Jesus
How can such a place
Be with so much pain

'Cause two young mothers their daughters
Right for no reason
I I'll never go down there again

to the river
That mean ole'
beautiful river
That ole' river
That damn river

That damn river
beautiful river
