Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

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

And the broad who the whiskey
She was a big old friendly
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 hidin'?
And why you so down?"

The little man just sat
Like he'd never 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 know I'm not no beauty
But I can listen good"

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

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

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

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, Lord she was a try

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

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

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

When I drove her to my house
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 all tumbled 'round her
I could hear my

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

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

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

Well, the mornin' came so
I held her in my
She slept like a
Snug and from harm

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

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

You know that waitress her bar rag
And she wiped it across her
And as she spoke her voice out
As like a sigh

She said, "I that I was beautiful
Or that you were halfway
And I wish I weren't so fat
I wish that you mine"

"And I wish you'd come with me
I leave for home
For we both know all 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 been so lonely"

"And if you want me to come you
That's alright me
'Cause I I'm goin' nowhere
And anywhere's a place to be"
