Luyện nghe bài hát Lament for Lester Cousins

music and lyrics by Corb

Lester Cousins left his brothers on a truck filled with others
Cuz his fatherd left his mother ago
And Lesters mother took in lovers to feed and clothe his brothers
So at thirteen our Lester chose to go

Men introduced him to hard labour, earth and stacking hay
Were all the options were open to the boy
And the same men showed our Lester Lady Lucks appeal and her
a trusting young disciple to enjoy

With the gamblin came the and the cocaine and the sinkin
accompanies a man whos falling down
And pretty soon the and the whoring every night
And pills and losing left his spirit on the

Well there comes a time even hardened men need to believe in
Something and look within and be afraid
When a particularly rough night took his friend in one knife fight
For the first time in his life Lester prayed

Lester now, now, keep it together, we all want to see you succeed
Lester now, now, hold it together, cuz your goodness is what the world needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together and dont that spirit of yours
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to with the weight of the world at your door
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the fate of the on the floor
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall the hate of the world as your whore

Well God led to a lady who was finally worth the wait
He bought a ring and changed his ways and settled
And he farmed his forty acres, a daughter, loved his Maker
Loved his and earned respect all through the town

at work and clean and sober fifteen years come this October
All the vices of his had disappeared
Very did he know then that the young, out of control men
That his motherd learned to dread reappear

Well his life and home were and his wife and daughter battered
When the kind he knew so came back around
An incontainable induced Lester to regress and
murder those whod raped the love hed found

It didnt take long to find him or convict him or confine him
To a block full of wounded prisoner doom
Because his mothers will, her Lester Cousins was a killer now
Whod never live to leave the jailers
