Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

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

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

And she said "Hey Bub, been awhile
you been around
Where the hell you been
And why you look so ?

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

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

And the little man took his drink in his
And he it to his lips
He took a couple of
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 this here lovely lady she sat two 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 lonely, and well nigh kinda lost
Now I'm not much of a or a pick-em-up easy 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 like a boy
I stammered out words
It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't she heard
She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my
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 going nowhere and anywhere's a place to be
Anywhere's a place 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 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 kind of scene I only had in my head
I just could not 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 with me that's all right with me
'Cause been oh so lonely, lovin' 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 safe from
I did not want to share her or dare to the mood
So before she woke I went out to buy us both some
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 know the waitress 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 that I was or that you were halfway blind
And I wish I weren't so goddamned fat, I wish that you mine
And I that you'd come with me when I leave for home
For we both know all about emptiness and all alone"

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

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'"
