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 the whiskey
She was a big old girl
And tried to her empty nights
By smilin' at the

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

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

She said, "I don't to bother you
Consider understood
I I'm not no beauty queen
But I can listen good"

And the little man took his 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 Tool and Die
And I watch the metal rusting, I watch the 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 she could warm a winter's frost
But she long past lonely, and well nigh kinda 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 like a school boy
I stammered out some
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't think she
She just looked on through me to a space back in my head
And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she

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

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

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

And if you want to come with me that's all right 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 I held her in my arms
She like a baby, snug and safe from harm
I did not want to her or dare to break the mood
So before she woke I went out to buy us both food
I came back with my paper bag to find that she was
She'd left a six letter saying, 'It's time that I moved on'

You the waitress took her bar rag
And she wiped it 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 halfway
And I wish I so goddamned fat, I wish that you were mine
And I wish you'd come with me when I leave for home
For we both know all about and livin' all alone"

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

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