Luyện nghe bài hát A Better Place To Be

It was an early morning bar
And the place just up
And the little man in so fast and it
Started at his

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

And she said "Hey Bub, been awhile
Since you been
the hell you been hidin'?
And why you so down ?

The little man just sat there like he'd never a sound
The she gave out with a cough
not the least put off
She once again

She said, "I want to bother 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 couple of
And he told waitress this story

I am the watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die
And I watch the metal rusting, I watch the go by
A ago at the Diner, I stopped to get a bite
And this lovely lady she sat two seats from my right
And Lord, Lord,
She was

You see, she was so damned beautiful she could warm a frost
But she looked long past lonely, and well nigh lost
Now I'm not much of a mover or a easy guy
But I decided to on over and give her one good 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 'cause I don't think she heard
She just looked clear on me to a space back in my head
And it shamed me into silence, as quietly she

'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
Anywhere's a better to be'

When I drove her to my boarding house and I took her up to my
And I went to on the only light to brighten up the gloom
But she said, "Please leave the off, oh, I don't mind the dark"
And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her, I could hear my

The moonlight upon her as she lay back in my bed
It was the of scene I only had imagined 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 just how you

And if you want to come with me that's all right with me
'Cause I've been oh so lonely, lovin' is a better way to be
Anywhere's a way to be"

When the morning came so swiftly I held her in my
She slept like a baby, snug and from harm
I did not want to share her or dare to break the
So before she woke I out to buy us both some food
I came with my paper bag to find that she was gone
left a six word letter saying, 'It's time that I moved on'

You know the took her bar rag
And she wiped it across her
And as she spoke her voice out as something like a sigh
She said, "I wish I was beautiful or that you were halfway blind
And I wish I weren't so goddamned fat, I that you were mine
And I wish you'd come with me when I leave for home
For we both all about emptiness and livin' all alone"

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

And if you want me to come with you all right with me
'Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and a better place to be'"
