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
Started at his

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

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

The little man just sat there like he'd heard a sound
The waitress she gave out with a
Acting not the put off
She once again

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

And the little man his drink 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 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 lovely lady she sat two seats from my right
And Lord, Lord,
She was

You see, she was so damned beautiful she could 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 decided to glide on over and give her one 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 '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 with you all right with me
I know I'm going nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be
Anywhere's a better to be'

I drove her to my boarding house 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 'round her, I could hear my heart

The moonlight shown upon her as she lay in my bed
It was the kind of scene I only had in my head
I could not believe it, to think 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
I've been oh so lonely, lovin' someone is a better way to be
Anywhere's a way to be"

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

You the waitress took her bar rag
And she wiped it across her
And as she spoke her voice came out as like a sigh
She said, "I wish I was beautiful or that you were halfway blind
And I I weren't so goddamned fat, I wish that 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
at the empty glass in his hand
And he a crooked grin
He said, "I I'm out of gin
And I we both 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 a better place to be'"
