Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

It was an morning bar room
And the place opened up
And the little man come in so and it
at his cups

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

And she said "Hey Bub, been awhile
Since you been
Where the hell you hidin'?
And why you look so ?

The little man just sat there he'd never heard a sound
The waitress she gave out with a
not the least put off
She spoke once

She said, "I don't to bother you
it's understood
I know I'm not no queen
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 waitress this story

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

You see, she was so beautiful she could 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 decided to 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 some
It did not seem to much 'cause I don't think she heard
She just looked clear on through me to a back in my head
And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she

'If you want me to with you that's all right with me
'Cause I I'm going nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be
Anywhere's a better 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 leave the light off, oh, I mind the dark"
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my

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

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

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

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

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

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