Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

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

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

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

The little man just sat
Like he'd heard a sound
The waitress, she gave out a cough
And not the least put off, she spoke once again

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

And the little man took his drink in his
And he it to his lips
He took a couple of
And he told that waitress story

I am the watchman
at Miller's Tool and Die
And I the metal rustin'
I the time go by

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

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

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

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

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

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

When I drove her to my boarding
And I her up to my room
And I went to on the only light
To brighten up the

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

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

I just not believe it
To think that she was
And as I tried to tell her, she
"Shh, I know 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 better to be"

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

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

I came back with a bag
To that she was gone
left a six word letter
Sayin', "It's time that I on"

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

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

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

And the man
Looked at the empty glass in his
And he smiled a crooked
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
I know I'm goin' nowhere
And anywhere's a better to be"
