Luyện nghe bài hát A Lot Like Me

He was a long tall stranger from way down south he'd left his life behind
He had a big old and a pickup truck and Shenandoah eyes
And I remember him in that local bar where I earned my pay each night
Singing my to empty chairs and going home half tight

So the nights rolled by like shining on a lonesome strip of tar
I kept his words of close to me like a pick on my guitar; And we
Talked about the singers and the songs we loved and the songs we'd forgot
In that run-down bar they'd make last call and I'd never to stop

'Cause I was living on but a young girl's dreams
With my boots and my old six-string
Hitching my wagon to a star, dreaming of leaving local bars
When I'd get him up at time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
the star that he longed to be, he looked a helluva lot like me

He'd a lot of places where the only wages were food and beer for free
No fancy licks, but he had him a gift for the kind of songs sing
But you do what you can to be a satisfied man, just to have peace of mind
So he gave it all up for a job where the paychecks come on time

So now he comes to the bar to hear me play and to share a drink or two
And we sit swapping tales of where we've been and what we'd do
There's a wealth of danger when you're talking to strangers, and I them all the time
But my heart knew better than my head when I looked into those

'Cause I was living on nothing but a girl's dreams with my cowboy boots and my old six-string
Hitching my wagon to a star, dreaming of leaving those local
When I'd get him up at time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
Like the star he longed to be, he looked a hell of a lot like me

Well, I'll quit when I got me a kid and a place to call my own
But there ain't nobody there waiting up for me at home
It's a of a way to live from day to day not knowing where you're bound
But the look in his eyes me realize I was glad for the life I'd found

'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's dreams with my cowboy boots and my old
Hitching my wagon to a star, dreaming of those local bars
I'd get him up at closing time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
Like the star he longed to be, he looked a hell of a lot like me
Like the star that he'd always be, he a hell of a lot like me
