Luyện nghe bài hát Vance

He was born one mornin' it was cold and it was
And the start he never had a chance
And though the doctors he couldn't live his mama had some faith to give
And they brought him to her and his mama named him
He was sick a long time then I to sit by him
I'd rub his head he would my hand
But he cried he'd grit his teeth and smile at me cause he couldn't speak
And that's I began to respect the little man
And I think was three right about then
He started school and one day he home and at the doorway
I could the little man didn't want to come inside
He'd met a girl but her Smitty
Had caught him walkin' home with her and killed Vance
But then Vance never cried and the thing that Smitty hurt was pride
And he said papa do you become a man you're twenty one
And I age doesn't make a man a man my son
He looked at me so with eyes so young and kind
And I think Vance was seven that time

I guess they say that love is the very best
At least it was with Vance cause he'd Becky on his desk
But went with Smitty and Vance was very small
And he used to dream what it'd be to be tall
And then a few later Vance came in one day
And told me and his mama he had to go away
To be fitted for a uniform and though his mama a tear
He kissed her and said he'd see us in two
And he at me and said papa I'm gonna be a man
Well two years to the day came walkin' in the driveway
And I didn't recognize him from his size he got near
He came in and he his mama
And said hey papa little man wanna go me somewhere and grab a beer
So we're sittin' at this table when fella at the bar started buggin' Vance
Callin' him soldier but Vance his cool
And he said papa guy is Smitty and he's to be pitied now
Cause that's the guy that used to bully me in school
Then Smitty said the wrong thing he brought up Becky's name
And finally stood and said boy what did you say
And it did my heart so much good Vance hit ole Smitty
And it took two of Smitty's friends to carry him
Well Vance left the next mornin' and it was cold and it was snowin'
And from the life hadn't been much fun
But he had finally made a stand and he'd become a self man
And incidentally he had just turned one
