Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

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

And the who served 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
you been around
Where the hell you been
And why you look so ?

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

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 in his hand
And he it to his lips
He took a of sips
And he told that waitress story

I am the midnight watchman down at Tool and Die
And I watch the metal rusting, I the time 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 warm a winter's frost
But she looked long past lonely, and nigh kinda lost
Now I'm not much of a mover or a pick-em-up 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 some
It did not seem to matter 'cause I don't think she heard
She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my
And it me into silence, as quietly she said

'If you want me to come 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 boarding house and I 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 shown upon her as she lay in my bed
It was the kind of scene I had imagined in my head
I just not believe it, to think that she was real
And as I tried to her she said, "I know just how you feel

And if you want to come here with me that's all with me
I've been oh so lonely, lovin' someone is a better 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, snug and from harm
I did not want to share her or dare to the mood
So before she 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 time I moved on'

You the waitress took her bar rag
And she it across her eyes
And as she spoke her came out as something like a sigh
She said, "I wish 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 that you'd with me when I leave for home
For we both know all about 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 have been so lonely

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