《A Better Place to Be(Live; 1975)》歌词

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

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

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

[00:01:04] Started at his cup

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:24] Since you been around

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:50] She spoke once again

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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