Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place

It was an mornin' bar room
And the place opened up
And the little man came in so
And he at his cups

And the broad who served the
She was a big old friendly
She tried to fight her empty
By smilin' at the

And she said, "Hey bub
It's been awhile since you been
Where the hell you been
And why you so down?"

The man just sat there
Like he'd never heard a
The waitress, she out with a cough
And actin' not the least put off, she once again

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 in his hand
And he raised it to his
He took a of sips
And he told that waitress story

I am the watchman
Down at Tool and Die
And I watch the rustin'
I the time go by

A week ago at the diner, I stopped to get a
And this here lovely
She sat two from my right
And Lord, Lord, Lord she was

You see, she was so damned
She warm a winter frost
But she looked long past
And well now I, I was

Now I'm not of a mover
Or a easy guy
But I decided to glide on and give her one good try
And Lord, Lord, she was worth a try

But I was tongued-tied a school boy
I out some words
It did not seem to matter
'Cause I don't she heard

She just clear on through me
To a back in my head
And it shamed me silence
As quietly she

"If you me to come with you
That's all with me
'Cause I I'm goin' nowhere
And anywhere's a place to be
Anywhere's a place to be"

When I drove her to my boarding
And I her up to my room
And I to turn on the only light
To up the gloom

But she said, "Please the light off
Oh, I don't the dark"
And as her clothes all 'round her
I hear my heart

The moonlight upon her
As she lay in my bed
It was the of scene I only
Had in my head

I could not believe it
To think she was real
And as I to tell her, she said
"Shh, I know how you feel"

"And if you to come here with me
That's all right me
I've been, oh, so lonely
Lovin' is a better way to be
Anywhere's a better to be"

Well, the came so swiftly
I her in my arms
She slept like a
and safe from harm

I did not want to her
Or dare to the mood
So, before she woke I out
To buy us some food

I came back with a bag
To that she was gone
She'd left a six word
Sayin', "It's time I moved on"

You know that waitress her bar rag
And she wiped it her eyes
And as she spoke her came out
As like a sigh

She said, "I wish I was beautiful
Or that you were blind
And I wish I so god-damned fat
I wish you were mine"

"And I wish you'd come with me
When I for home
For we both all about emptiness
And all alone"

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

"And if you want me to with you
That's alright me
'Cause I I'm goin' nowhere
And anywhere's a better to be"
