Best of All Possible Worlds - Kris Kristofferson[00:00:00]
Written by:Kris Kristofferson/Bergen White[00:00:01]
I was runnin' through the summer rain[00:00:04]
Tryin' to catch the evenin' train[00:00:07]
An' kill that old familiar pain[00:00:09]
Weavin' through my tangled brain[00:00:11]
But when I tipped my bottle back[00:00:13]
I smacked into a cop I didn't see[00:00:15]
That policeman said mister cool[00:00:22]
If you ain't drunk then you're a fool[00:00:24]
I said if that's against the law[00:00:27]
Then tell me why I never saw[00:00:29]
A man locked in that jail of yours[00:00:31]
Who wasn't just as low down poor as me[00:00:33]
Well that was when someone turned out the lights[00:00:38]
An' I wound up in jail to spend the night[00:00:42]
An' dream of all the wine an' lonely girls[00:00:47]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:00:51]
Well I woke up next mornin'[00:00:58]
Feelin' like my head was gone[00:01:00]
An' like my thick old tongue was lickin'[00:01:03]
Something sick an' wrong[00:01:05]
An' I told that man I'd sell my soul[00:01:07]
For somethin' wet an' cold as that old cell[00:01:10]
That kindly jailer grinned at me[00:01:16]
All eaten up with sympathy[00:01:19]
Then poured he self another beer[00:01:21]
An' came an' whispered in my ear[00:01:23]
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy[00:01:25]
You couldn't even buy the smell[00:01:28]
I said I knew there was somethin' I liked about this town[00:01:32]
But it takes more than that to bring me down down down[00:01:36]
'Cause there's still a lot of wine an' lonely girls[00:01:41]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:01:45]
Well they finally came an' told me[00:01:52]
They was a gonna set me free[00:01:54]
An' I'd be leavin' town[00:01:57]
If I knew what was good for me[00:01:58]
I said it's nice to learn[00:02:01]
That everybody's so concerned about my health[00:02:03]
I said I won't be leavin' no more[00:02:10]
Quicker than I can[00:02:13]
'Cause I've enjoyed about as much[00:02:15]
Of this as I can stand[00:02:17]
An' I don't need this town of yours[00:02:19]
More than I never needed nothin' else[00:02:22]
'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk[00:02:26]
An' lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk[00:02:30]
An' lord there's still so many lonely girls[00:02:35]
In this best of all possible worlds[00:02:39]
