Luyện nghe bài hát Black Cowboys

Raney playground was among Haven's streets
he ran past melted candles and flower wreaths
Names and photos of the young black
Whose death and blood these places

Raney's mother said stay at my side
For you are my blessing, you are my
It's your love here keeps my soul alive
I want you to come home school and stay inside

Raney'd do his work and put his books
was a channel showed a Western movie everyday
And that brought him home books on the cowboys of the Oklahoma range
The Seminole that fought the tribes of the Great Plains

come and the days grew long
Raney always had his mother's smile to on
Along the street of stray he made his way
To the warmth of her arms at the end of day

Come the Fall, the rain flooded these
In Ezekiel's of dry bones
It fell and dark to the ground
It fell without a

And they took up with a man whose business was the
Whose smile was fixed in a face that was off guard
In the pipes 'neath the sink his secrets are kept
In the day, behind drawn curtains in the next he slept

And she got lost in the
The smile Raney depended on away
The arms that him were no more his own
He lay at night his pressed to her chest listening to the ghost in her bones

In the kitchen, Raney slipped his between the pipes
From a brown bag pulled five hundred dollar and stuck it in his coat side
Stood in the at his mother's bed
Brushed her and kissed her eyes

In the Raney walked to the station on streets of stone
Through Pennsylvania and his train drifted on
Through the small of Indiana the big train crept
As he lay his head on his seat and slept

He and the towns gave way to muddy fields of green
Corn and cotton and endless in between
Over the rutted hills of Oklahoma the red sun slipped and was
The moon rose and the earth to its bone
