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 friendly
She tried to fight her empty
By at the world

And she said, "Hey bub
It's been awhile since you around
Where the hell you been
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 again

She said, "I want to bother you
Consider it's
I I'm not no beauty queen
But I can listen good"

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

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

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

You see, she was so damned
She could warm a winter
But she looked long 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, she was worth a try

But I was tongued-tied a school boy
I stammered out words
It did not seem to matter
I don't think she heard

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

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

When I drove her to my house
And I took her up to my
And I went to turn on the light
To up the gloom

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And the man
Looked at the glass in his hand
And he smiled a 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 alright me
'Cause I I'm goin' nowhere
And a better place to be"
