Best Of All Possible Worlds - Kris Kristofferson[00:00:01]
I was runnin' through the summer rain tryin' to catch the evenin' train[00:00:04]
And kill that old familiar pain weevin' through my tangled brain[00:00:09]
When I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't see[00:00:13]
That policeman said Mr Cool if you're ain't drunk then you're a fool[00:00:20]
I said if that's against the law tell me why I never saw[00:00:27]
A man locked in that jail of yours who wadn't just as lowdown poor as me[00:00:31]
Well that was when someone turned out the lights[00:00:38]
And I wound up in jail to spend the night[00:00:41]
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds[00:00:47]
Well I woke up next morning feelin' like my head was gone[00:00:58]
And like my thick old tongue was lickin' somethin' sick and wrong[00:01:03]
And I told that man I'd sell my soul if somethin' wet and cold is that old cell[00:01:08]
That kindly jailer grinned at me all eaten up with sympathy[00:01:16]
Then bought himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear[00:01:21]
That booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn't even buy the smell[00:01:26]
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[00:01:37]
Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds[00:01:41]
Well they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free[00:01:50]
And I'd be leavin' town if I knew what was good for me[00:01:57]
I said it's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my health[00:02:01]
I said I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can[00:02:11]
Cause I've enjoyed about this much of this as I can stand[00:02:15]
And I don't need this town of yours more than I've never needed nothing else[00:02:20]
Cause there's still a lotta drinks that I ain't drunk[00:02:26]
Lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thought oh yeah[00:02:31]
Lord there's still so many lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds[00:02:35]
