Luyện nghe bài hát To Beat The Devil

A couple of back, I come across a great
And wasted friend of in the hallway of a recording studio
And while he was some poetry to me that he'd written
I saw that he was a step away from dyin'
And I help but wonder why
And the lines of this song to me
I'm happy to say he's no longer wasted and he's got him a good woman And I'd like to dedicate to John and June
Who helped show me how to the devil

It was winter time in Nashville, down on music row
And I was lookin' for a to get myself out of the cold
To warm the frozen that was eatin' at my soul
Keep the chilly wind off my

My thirsty whiskey, my hungry needed beans
But it'd of month of paydays since I'd heard that eagle scream
So with a stomach full of empty and a full of dreams
I left my pride and inside a bar

Actually, I guess you'd could it a Tavern
Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and on the floor
shadows

I saw there was just one old man sittin' at the bar
And in the mirror, I see him checkin' me and my guitar
An' he turned and said, "Come up here boy, and us what you are"
I said, "I'm dry", he me a beer

He nodded at my guitar and said, "It's a life, ain't it?"
I just at him, he said, "You ain't makin' any money, are you?"
I said, "You've been my mail"
He just smiled and said, "Let me see guitar
I've got something you oughta hear", then he it on me

"If you waste your a-talkin' to the people who don't listen
To the things you are sayin', who do you think's gonna hear
And if you should die how the things that they complain about
Are things they could be changin', who do you gonna care?"

There were lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind
Who were crucified for what tried to show
And their voices have been by the swirling winds of time
'Cause the truth remains no-one wants to know

Well, the old man was a stranger, but I'd heard his song
Back when failure had me out on the wrong side of the door
no-one stood behind me but my shadow on the floor
And lonesome was more than a of mind

You see, the devil a hungry man
If you don't wanna join him, you got to him
I ain't sayin' I beat the devil, but I drank his for nothing
I stole his song

And you still can hear me singin' to the people who listen
To the that I am sayin', prayin' someone's gonna hear
And I guess I'll die explainin' how the that they complain about
Are things they could be changin', hopin' someone's care

I was born a lonely singer, and I'm to die the same
But got to feed the hunger in my soul
And if I never have a nickle, I won't die ashamed
'Cause I don't believe that no-one wants to
