Luyện nghe bài hát Phantom 309

I was out on the West Coast, to make a

And things didn't work out, I was down on my
Got tired and bummin' around
So I started thumbin' East, toward my home town.

Made a lot of miles, the two days
And I figured I'd be home in week, if my luck held out way
But, the night I got stranded, way out of town
At a cold, crossroads, rain was pourin' down.

I was hungry and freezin', caught a chill
When the lights of a big semi topped the hill Lord, I sure was glad to them air brakes come on
And I climbed in that cab, I knew it'd be warm.

At the sit a big man, he weighed about two-ten
He stuck out his hand and with a grin
"Big Joe's the name", I told him
And he said: "The name of my rig is 309."

I asked him why he his rig such a name
He said: "Son, old Mack can put 'em all to shame
ain't a driver, or a rig, a-runnin' any line
Ain't seen nothin' but taillights Phantom 309."

Well, we rode and talked the part of the night
the lights of a truck stop came in sight
He said: "I'm sorry son, is as far as you go
'Cause, I make a turn, just on up the road."

Well, he tossed me a as he pulled her in low
And "Have yourself a cup on old Big Joe."
When Joe and his rig out in the night
In flat, he was clean out of sight.

Well, I went inside and me a cup
the waiter Big Joe was settin' me up
Aw!, you coulda heard a pin drop, it got deathly
And the waiter's face turned white.

Well, did I say something wrong? I with a halfway grin
He "Naw, this happens every now and then
driver in here knows Big Joe
But son, let me tell you happened about ten years ago.

At the crossroads tonight, where you him down
There was a bus of kids, comin' from town
And they were right in the middle, Big Joe topped the hill
It could have slaughter, but he turned his wheel.

Well, Joe lost control, went a skid
And gave his life to save bunch-a kids
And there at crossroads, was the end of the line
For Big Joe and 309

But, every now and then, some come by
And like you, Big Joe'll give 'em a
Here, have another cup and forget the dime
Keep it as a souvenir, from Big Joe and 309!"
