Luyện nghe bài hát West Side Of Town

Felipe was a boy when he crossed the Rio Grande
Heading north to 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 hall
Past the plaza and the village church wall
times stole her innocence but drove the woman's heart
San Antonio bound to the side of town

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

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

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

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

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

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

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