Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

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

And the broad who the whiskey
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 hell you hidin'?
And why you look so ?

The little man just sat there like never heard a sound
The waitress she out with a cough
not the least put off
She once again

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

And the little man his drink in his hand
And he it to his lips
He a couple of sips
And he that waitress this story

I am the midnight watchman at Miller's Tool and Die
And I the metal rusting, I watch the time go by
A ago at the Diner, I stopped to get a bite
And this here 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 past lonely, and well nigh kinda lost
Now I'm not much of a 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 tongued-tied a school boy
I stammered out words
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't she heard
She looked clear on through me to a space back in my head
And it me into silence, as quietly she said

'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
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 only light to up the gloom
But she said, "Please leave the off, oh, I don't mind the dark"
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I hear my heart

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 could not believe it, to that she was real
And as I tried to tell her she said, "I know 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 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 break the
So before she I went out to buy us both some food
I came back with my paper bag to find she was gone
She'd a six word letter saying, 'It's time that I moved on'

You know the waitress 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 fat, I wish that you were mine
And I wish that you'd with me when I leave for home
For we know all about emptiness and livin' all alone"

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

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