Luyện nghe bài hát West Side Of Town

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

Maria dreamed of singing in a concert hall
Past the and the village church adobe wall
Hard times stole her innocence but drove the heart
San Antonio bound to the west of town

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They were that made
