Best Of All Possible Worlds

Written and Recorded by Kris Kristofferson

I was

runnin' through the summer rain tryin' to catch the evenin' train

And kill that ole familiar pain

weavin' through my tangled brain

But

when I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't

see

That

policeman said Mr. Cool if you're ain't drunk then you're a fool

I said if that's against the law

tell me why I never saw

man locked in that jail of yours

Who wadn't just as lowdown poor as

Well that was when

someone turned out the

lights

And

I wound up in jail to spend the

night

And dream of all the wine and lonely

girls

this best of all possible

worlds

Well I

woke up next morning feelin' like my head was gone

And like my thick ol'

tongue was lickin' somethin' sick and wrong

And I

told that man I'd sell my soul for somethin' wet

And cold as that ol'

cell

That

kindly jailer grinned at me all eaten up with sympathy

Then

bought his self another beer and came and whispered in my ear

booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn't even buy the

smell

I said I knew there was

somethin' I liked about this

town

But it

takes more than that to bring me

down down down

Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely

girls

this best of all possible

worlds

Well they

finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free

And I'd be

leavin' town if I knew what was good for me

said it's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my

health

said I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can

Cause I've enjoyed about as much of

this as I can stand

And I

don't need this town of yours more

Than I've never needed nothing

else

Cause there's still a lotta

drinks that I ain't

drunk

And

lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't

thunk oh yeah

Lord there's still so many lonely

girls

this best of all possible

worlds
