Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

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

And the broad who served the
She was a big old friendly
And to fight her empty nights
By smilin' at the

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

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

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

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

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

You see, she was so damned beautiful she warm a winter's frost
But she looked long lonely, and well nigh kinda lost
Now I'm not much of a mover or a pick-em-up guy
But I decided to glide on over and 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 much 'cause I don't think she heard
She just looked clear on through me to a back in my head
And it me into silence, as quietly she said

'If you want me to come with you that's all with me
I know I'm going nowhere and anywhere's 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 room
And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the
But she said, "Please leave the off, oh, I don't mind the dark"
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my

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

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

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

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

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