[Intro]
This is probably the favorite thing of mine, at least to me, that I've written. And um, it's about a small town upstate New York, called Watertown, New York. That's more than it deserves. I spent a week there one afternoon. And um, I came away with this story which is a rather, well, strange tale of a, of a little midnight watchman, a rotund waitress, and a girl he picks up one night. And it's called "A Better Place to Be."
[Part I]
[Verse 1]
It was an early morning barroom and the place just opened up
And the little man camе in so fast and started at his cups
And the broad who servеd the whisky
She was a big old friendly girl
Who tried to fight her empty nights by smilin' at the world
And she said, "Hey Bub, it's, it's been awhile since you been around
Where the hell you been hidin', and why you look so down?"
Well the little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
The waitress, she give out with a cough
And acting not the least put off
She spoke once again
[Chorus]
She said, "I don't wanna bother you
Consider it's understood
I know I'm not no beauty queen
But I sure can listen good"
