Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

It was an early bar room
And the place 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 at the world

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

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

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

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

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

A week ago at the diner, I to get a bite
And here lovely lady
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 long past
And now I, I was lost

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

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

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

"If you want me to come you
That's all with me
'Cause I know I'm goin'
And anywhere's a better 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 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 could my heart

The moonlight 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 to tell her, she said
"Shh, I just how you feel"

"And if you to come here with 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 mornin' came so
I held her in my
She slept like a
Snug and safe harm

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

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

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

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

"And I wish that you'd come me
When I 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 crooked
He said, "I I'm out of gin
And I we both have been so lonely"

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