Luyện nghe bài hát Vance

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

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