Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

It was an early bar room
And the just opened up
And the little man in so fast
And he started at his

And the broad who the whiskey
She was a big old friendly
She tried to her empty nights
By smilin' at the

And she said, "Hey bub
It's been since you been around
Where the hell you been
And why you so down?"

The man just sat there
Like never heard a sound
The waitress, she gave out with a
And actin' not the put off, she spoke once again

She said, "I don't to bother you
Consider understood
I know I'm not no beauty
But I can listen good"

And the little man his drink in his hand
And he it to his lips
He a couple of sips
And he told waitress this story

I am the midnight
Down at Tool and Die
And I watch the metal
I watch the go by

A ago at the diner, I stopped to get a bite
And this here lovely
She sat two from my right
And Lord, Lord, she was alright

You see, she was so damned
She could a winter frost
But she looked past lonely
And now I, I was lost

Now I'm not of a mover
Or a easy guy
But I decided to glide on and give her one good try
And Lord, Lord, she was worth a try

But I was like a school boy
I stammered out some
It did not to matter much
'Cause I think she heard

She looked clear on through me
To a back in my head
And it shamed me silence
As she said

"If you want me to with you
all right with me
'Cause I I'm goin' nowhere
And a better place to be
Anywhere's a better to be"

When I drove her to my boarding
And I took her up to my
And I went to turn on the only
To up the gloom

But she said, "Please the light off
Oh, I don't the dark"
And as her clothes all 'round her
I could hear my

The moonlight shone her
As she lay in my bed
It was the kind of scene I
Had in my head

I just not believe it
To think that she was
And as I tried to tell her, she
"Shh, I just how you feel"

"And if you want to come here me
all right with me
'Cause been, oh, so lonely
Lovin' someone is a way to be
Anywhere's a place to be"

Well, the came so swiftly
I her in my arms
She like a baby
Snug and safe from

I did not want to her
Or dare to break the
So, before she I went out
To buy us some food

I came back a paper bag
To find that she was
She'd left a six letter
Sayin', "It's time I moved on"

You know that waitress her bar rag
And she wiped it her eyes
And as she her voice came out
As somethin' like a

She said, "I wish I was beautiful
Or that you were halfway
And I wish I so god-damned fat
I that you were mine"

"And I wish that you'd come me
When I leave for
For we both all about emptiness
And all alone"

And the man
Looked at the empty glass in his
And he a crooked grin
He said, "I I'm out of gin
And I know we both been so lonely"

"And if you me to come with you
That's with me
'Cause I know I'm goin'
And anywhere's a place to be"
