Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

It was an early morning bar
And the place just up
And the little man in so fast and it
Started at his

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

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

The little man just sat like he'd never heard a sound
The waitress she gave out a cough
not the least put off
She spoke again

She said, "I want to bother you
it's understood
I know I'm not no beauty
But I sure can good"

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

I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's and Die
And I the metal rusting, I watch the time go by
A week ago at the Diner, I to get a bite
And this here lovely lady she sat two seats my right
And Lord, Lord,
She was

You see, she was so damned beautiful she warm a winter's frost
But she looked long past lonely, and well kinda lost
Now I'm not of a mover or a pick-em-up easy guy
But I to glide on over and give her one good try
And Lord, Lord,
She was a try

And I was like a school boy
I stammered out words
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't she heard
She just looked clear on through me to a space in my head
And it shamed me into silence, as she said

'If you want me to with you that's all right with me
'Cause I know I'm going nowhere and a better place to be
a better place to be'

When I drove her to my house and I took her up to my room
And I went to turn on the light to brighten up the gloom
But she said, "Please the light off, oh, I don't mind the dark"
And as her all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my heart

The moonlight shown her as she lay back in my bed
It was the kind of I only had imagined in my head
I just could not believe it, to think that she was
And as I to tell her she said, "I know just how you feel

And if you want to come here me that's all right with me
'Cause I've been oh so lonely, lovin' is a better way to be
a better way to be"

When the morning came so I held her in my arms
She slept a baby, snug and safe from harm
I did not want to share her or dare to the mood
So before she woke I went out to buy us some food
I came back with my paper bag to find that she was
She'd left a six word letter saying, time that I moved on'

You know the took her bar rag
And she it across her eyes
And as she spoke her voice came out as like a sigh
She said, "I that I was beautiful or that you were halfway blind
And I wish I weren't so goddamned fat, I wish you were mine
And I wish you'd come with me when I leave for home
For we both know all about emptiness and all alone"

And the man
Looked at the empty glass in his
And he a crooked grin
He said, "I I'm out of gin
And I know we both have so lonely

And if you want me to come with you that's all right me
'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and anywhere's a better to be'"
