Best Of All Possible Worlds

Recorded by Roger Miller

Written by Kris Kristofferson

I was

runnin' through the summer rain

Tryin' to catch that evenin' train

And

kill that old familiar pain

Weevin' 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

well if that's against the law

Then 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

nights

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 old tongue was lickin'

Somethin' sick and wrong

And I

told that man I'd sell my soul

If somethin' wet and cold is that old

cell

That

kindly jailer just grinned at me

All eaten up with sympathy

Then he

bought himself another beer

And came and whispered in my ear

That

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 down

But there's still a lot of wine and lonely

girls

this best of all possible

worlds

Well

they finally came and they 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 possibly can

Cause

I've enjoyed about

This much of this as I can stand

And I

don't need this town of yours

More than I never needed nothin'

else

Cause there's still a lotta drinks that I ain't

drunk

Lots

of pretty thoughts that I ain't never

thunk oh yeah

Lord there's still so many lonely

girls

this best of all possible

worlds

The Roger Miller Museum in his home town of Erick, Oklahomaâ€”now closedâ€”was a tribute to Miller.
