Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

It was an early bar room
And the place opened up
And the man come in so fast and it
Started at his

And the broad who served the
She was a big old girl
And to fight her empty nights
By at the world

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

The man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound
The waitress she gave out a cough
Acting not the put off
She spoke once

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

And the man took his drink in his hand
And he it to his lips
He took a couple of
And he told that this story

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

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

And I was tongued-tied like a boy
I stammered out some
It did not seem to matter much I don't think she heard
She just looked clear on through me to a back in my head
And it shamed me silence, as quietly she said

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

When I drove her to my boarding house and I her up to my room
And I went to on the only light to brighten up the gloom
But she said, "Please leave the light off, oh, I mind the dark"
And as her clothes all 'round her, I could hear my heart

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

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

When the morning came so swiftly I held her in my
She slept like a baby, snug and safe harm
I did not want to share her or dare to break the
So she woke I went out to buy us both some food
I came with my paper bag to find that she was gone
She'd left a six word letter saying, 'It's 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 something a sigh
She said, "I wish that I was beautiful or that you were blind
And I wish I weren't so goddamned fat, I that you were mine
And I wish that you'd come with me I leave for home
For we know all about emptiness and livin' all alone"

And the man
Looked at the empty in his hand
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 with you that's all right with me
'Cause I know I'm nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be'"
