Luyện nghe bài hát West Side Of Town

Felipe was a boy when he crossed the Rio Grande
Heading to Texas where he grew into a man
He fixed cars and worked the wars and a family
San Antonio was on the west side of town

Young Maria dreamed of singing in a concert
Past the plaza and the village adobe wall
Hard times stole her but drove the woman's heart
San Antonio bound to the west of town

She was proud and lived on
He was in his own way
They were that made
A good the hard way

Felipe lost his first in 1943
7 children and desperately in need
came to look for work and found her destiny
With one child of her own to the west side of

They were married, years by and now we were 13
Days were and days were bad but mostly they were lean
School and shoes and food and books, in a prayer
God know His way 'round on the west side of town

She was proud and on faith
He was in his own way
They were pilgrims made
A good the hard way

We would go to Mexico and Mama, she cry
For the things we'll never know, she had to leave
Sisters, brothers know too what memories can do
Climbing up when you're down from the side of town

Daddy never owned a house but built a strong
bought her own damn house with self determination
They're both gone but I know they're listening to this song
'Neath the San Fernando ground on the side of town

She was and lived on faith
He was in his own way
They pilgrims that made
A good life the way

They were that made
A good life the way
