《A Better Place to Be(Live; 1975)》歌词

时长： 09:59

It was an early morning bar room[00:00:10]

And the place just opened up[00:00:33]

And the little man come in so fast and[00:01:00]

Started at his cup[00:01:04]

And the broad who served the whisky[00:01:07]

She was a big old friendly girl[00:01:10]

And she tried to fight her empty nights[00:01:13]

By smilin' at the world[00:01:17]

And she said Hey Bub It's been awhile[00:01:20]

Since you been around[00:01:24]

Where the hell you been hidin'[00:01:26]

And why you look so down[00:01:30]

But the little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound[00:01:35]

The waitress she gave out with a cough[00:01:43]

And acting not the least put off[00:01:46]

She spoke once again[00:01:50]

She said I don't want to bother you[00:01:53]

Consider it's understood[00:01:57]

I know I'm not no beauty queen[00:02:00]

But I sure can listen good[00:02:03]

And the little man took his drink in his hand[00:02:10]

And he raised it to his lips[00:02:13]

He took a couple of sips[00:02:17]

And he told the waitress this story[00:02:20]

I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die[00:02:30]

And I watch the metal rusting and I watch the time go by[00:02:38]

A week ago at the diner I stopped to get a bite[00:02:46]

And this here lovely lady she sat two seats from my right[00:02:52]

And Lord Lord Lord she was alright[00:03:01]

Oh she was so d**ned beautiful that she'd warm a winter's frost[00:03:11]

But she was long past lonely and well nigh unto lost[00:03:19]

Now I'm not much of a mover or a pick em up easy guy[00:03:27]

But I decided to glide on over and give her one good try[00:03:34]

And Lord Lord Lord she was worth a try[00:03:42]

Tongued tied like a school boy I stammered out some words[00:03:53]

But it did not really matter much 'cause I don't think she heard[00:04:01]

She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my head[00:04:09]

And it shamed me into silence as quietly she said[00:04:34]

'If you want me[00:05:47]
