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
at his cups

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

And she "Hey Bub, It's been awhile
you been around
Where the you been hidin'?
And why you so down ?

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

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

And the little man took his in his hand
And he it to his lips
He took a couple of
And he told waitress this 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 could warm a frost
But she looked long past lonely, and well nigh lost
Now I'm not much of a mover or a 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 out some words
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't think she
She just clear on through me to a space back in my head
And it shamed me into silence, as she said

'If you want me to come with you that's all right 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 boarding and I took her up to my room
And I to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom
But she said, "Please leave the light off, oh, I don't 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 of scene I only had imagined in my head
I just could not believe it, to think she was real
And as I to tell her she said, "I know just how you feel

And if you want to come here 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 I held her in my arms
She like a baby, snug and safe from harm
I did not want to share her or to break the mood
So she woke I went out to buy us both some food
I came back with my paper bag to that 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 wiped it across her
And as she spoke her voice out as something like a sigh
She said, "I wish that I was beautiful or you were halfway blind
And I wish I weren't so fat, I wish that you were mine
And I wish that you'd come with me when I for home
For we both know all about emptiness and 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 we both have been 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'"
