Luyện nghe bài hát The Three Sofa Story

(Tom T. Hall)

I was and drinkin' in an old friend's apartment
On the westside of Nashville one
And in his apaprtment he had these three
He had two too all right.

I said buddy tell me about these sofas
And start with that on there first
He said there's in each of the sofas
But give me a minute for my thirst.

He said now that one is a good one for sleepin'
I got that one from my wife
She left me half crazy all of the babies
And off to Houston one night.

Well I did as I and I said what I thought
And it drove her out of her mind
So many and no damn excuses
often been told that I'm one of that kind.

Now second sofa I got that from a pal
Who was broke and was headed home
He was ram cut and rusty out and dusty
And I got that for a song.

On long winter evenings I'd sit on sofa
And what that fella sing
While I could do without it but something about it
That makes me believe the to the thing.

That third one right out there's a story about it
I got that one my second wife
A middle aged lady money to spend
I she was the love of my life.

Now I like I never got damn thing in here
Cause it seem to fit any house
oblong and shapeless it's ugly and tasteless
But I got it in and I'll get it out.

I thanked him for tellin' the three story
I and I said my goodnight
And on my way home I the safas
And how they were of his life.

Buddies and sweethearts the and losers
Kept up in my mind
And it's all in the tellin' of the three sofa
Just one of the places where done my time...
