Luyện nghe bài hát A Lot Like Me

He was a long tall from way down south where he'd left his life behind
He had a big old Gibson and a pickup truck and 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 headlights shining on a lonesome of tar
I kept his words of kindness close to me like a on my guitar; And we
Talked the singers and the songs we loved and the songs we'd most forgot
In that run-down bar make last call and I'd never want to stop

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

He'd played a lot of places where the only wages were and beer for free
No fancy licks, but he had him a gift for the kind of he'd sing
But you do what you can to be a man, just to have 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 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 you're talking to strangers, and I meet them all the time
But my heart knew better my head when I looked into those eyes

'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
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 of a lot like me

Well, maybe quit when I got me a kid and a place to call my own
But tonight there ain't nobody there waiting up for me at
It's a hell of a way to 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
my wagon to a star, dreaming of leaving those 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 star that he'd be, he looked a hell of a lot like me
