Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

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

And the who served the whiskey
She was a big old friendly
She tried to her empty nights
By at the world

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

The little man just sat
he'd never heard a sound
The waitress, she gave out with a
And actin' not the least put off, she spoke once

She said, "I don't want to you
it's understood
I know I'm not no queen
But I sure can good"

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

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

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

You see, she was so beautiful
She warm a winter frost
But she looked long lonely
And now I, I was lost

Now I'm not much of a
Or a pick-'em-up guy
But I decided to on over and give her one good try
And Lord, Lord, Lord she was a try

But I was tongued-tied like a boy
I out some words
It did not seem to much
'Cause I think she heard

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

"If you want me to with you
That's all with me
'Cause I know I'm nowhere
And anywhere's a place to be
Anywhere's a place to be"

When I her to my boarding house
And I took her up to my
And I went to turn on the light
To brighten up the

But she said, "Please leave the off
Oh, I mind the dark"
And as her all tumbled 'round her
I could hear my

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

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

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

Well, the came so swiftly
I held her in my
She slept a baby
and safe from harm

I did not to share her
Or to break the mood
So, before she woke I out
To buy us both food

I came with a paper bag
To find she was gone
She'd a six word letter
Sayin', "It's time that I on"

You know that took her bar rag
And she it across her eyes
And as she spoke her voice out
As somethin' like a

She said, "I that I was beautiful
Or that you halfway blind
And I I weren't so god-damned fat
I wish that you mine"

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

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

"And if you want me to with you
alright with me
'Cause I know I'm nowhere
And anywhere's a place to be"
