Luyện nghe bài hát West Side Of Town

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

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

She was and lived on faith
He was in his own way
They were that made
A life 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 of her own to the west side of town

They were married, went by and now we were 13
Days were good and were 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 proud and on faith
He was in his own way
They were that made
A good the hard way

We would go to and Mama, she would cry
For the things we'll know, she had to leave behind
Sisters, brothers too well what memories can do
Climbing up when you're down the west side of town

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

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