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 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
been awhile since you been around
Where the hell you been
And why you so down?"

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

She said, "I don't want to you
Consider it's
I I'm not no beauty 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 waitress this

I am the midnight
Down at Miller's and Die
And I the metal rustin'
I the time go by

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

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

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

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

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

"If you me to come with you
That's all with me
I know I'm goin' nowhere
And a better 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 the light off
Oh, I mind the dark"
And as her clothes all tumbled her
I could 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 could not it
To that she was real
And as I tried to tell her, she
"Shh, I just how you feel"

"And if you want to here with me
all right with me
'Cause been, oh, so lonely
someone is a better way to be
Anywhere's a place to be"

Well, the mornin' so swiftly
I her in my arms
She slept a baby
Snug and safe harm

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

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

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

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

"And I wish that come with me
I leave for home
For we both know all about
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 we both have been so lonely"

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