A Better Place To Be Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Jaxxvain 

Cover art for A Better Place To Be lyrics by Harry Chapin

The beauty "settles" with the Bub because she is down and lonely, and ordinarily wouldn't even see or speak to him.

Then "Bub" does just the same with the barmaid.

It's poetic, sad, depressing, and realistic all at the same time.
