Best Of All Possible Worlds - The Little Willies[00:00:00]
Written by:Kristoffer Kristofferson[00:00:01]
I was runnin' through the summer rain[00:00:15]
Waiting for the evenin' train[00:00:17]
To kill that old familiar pain[00:00:19]
Weavin' through my tangled brain[00:00:21]
When I tipped my bottle back[00:00:23]
Smacked into a cop I didn't see[00:00:25]
That policeman said mister cool[00:00:30]
If you ain't drunk then you're a fool[00:00:32]
I said if that's against the law[00:00:34]
Tell me why I never saw[00:00:36]
No man locked in this jail of yours[00:00:38]
Wasn't just as low down poor as me[00:00:40]
And that's just when someone turned out the lights[00:00:43]
Yes and I wound up in jail to spend the night[00:00:47]
And the dream of all the wine and lonely girls[00:00:50]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:00:54]
Next mornin' woke up feelin' like[00:01:00]
My head was really gone[00:01:01]
And like my thick old tongue[00:01:03]
Was lickin' something sick and wrong[00:01:04]
I said I'd sell my soul for something[00:01:07]
About as wet and cold as this old cell[00:01:09]
That kindly jailer looked at me[00:01:14]
All eaten up with sympathy[00:01:16]
Then poured himself another beer[00:01:18]
Came and whispered in my ear[00:01:19]
If booze was just a dime a bottle[00:01:21]
Boy you couldn't even buy the smell[00:01:23]
I said I knew there's something I liked about this town[00:01:26]
Oh but it'll take more than that to bring me down[00:01:30]
Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls[00:01:34]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:01:37]
Well they finally came and told me[00:02:11]
They was a gonna set me free[00:02:13]
And I'd be leavin' town[00:02:15]
If I knew what was good for me[00:02:16]
I said it's nice to learn[00:02:18]
That everybody's so concerned about my health[00:02:20]
But I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can[00:02:26]
And I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand[00:02:29]
And I don't need this town of yours[00:02:32]
No more than I never needed nothin' else[00:02:34]
Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk[00:02:38]
Yes and lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk[00:02:41]
Oh yeah there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls[00:02:44]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:02:48]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:02:52]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:02:56]
