Luyện nghe bài hát A Lot Like Me

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

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

'Cause I was living on nothing but a young girl's
With my boots and my old six-string
my wagon to a star, dreaming of leaving those local bars
When I'd get him up at closing time for a of songs and a chance to shine
Like the that he longed to be, he looked a helluva lot like me

He'd played a lot of places the only wages were food and beer for free
No fancy licks, but he had him a gift for the kind of songs he'd
But you do what you can to be a satisfied man, just to your 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 me play guitar and to share a drink or two
And we sit swapping tales of we've been and what we'd rather do
There's a wealth of when you're talking to strangers, and I meet them all the time
But my heart better than my head when I looked into those eyes

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

Well, maybe I'll quit when I got me a kid and a to call my own
But tonight ain't nobody there waiting up for me at home
It's a hell of a way to live from day to day not where you're bound
But the look in his eyes made me realize I was 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 leaving local bars
When I'd get him up at time for a couple of songs and a chance to shine
Like the star that he to be, he looked a hell of a lot like me
Like the that he'd always be, he looked a hell of a lot like me
