~The Best Of All Possible Worlds~

Kris Kristofferson



I was driving through the pouring rain

Trying to catch the evening train

and kill that old familiar pain 

weaving through my tangled brain

and when I tipped my bottle back

I smacked into a cop I didn?t see

That policeman said Mr. Cool 

if you ain?t drunk then your a fool

I said if thats against the law 

then tell me why I never saw

one man locked in that jail of yours

 who wasn?t either black or poor as me

Thats when someone turned out the lights

I wound up in jail to spend the night

and dream of all the wine and lonely girls

in this best of all possible worlds



(solo)



I woke up next morning felling like my head was gone

like my big old tongue was 

licking something dead and wrong

I told the man I?d swap my soul for 

something wet and cold as that old cell

That kindly jailer looked at me

all eaten up with sympathy

and poured himself another beer 

then came and whispered in my ear

?Boy if booze was just a dime a bottle

you couldn?t even buy the smell?

I said I knew there was something I liked about this town

It takes more than that to bring me down

theres still a lot of wine and lonely girls

in this best of all possible worlds



(solo)



In time they came and told me 

they were going to set me free

that I?d be leaving town if 

I knew what was good for me

I said ?It?s nice to hear that everybodys 

so concerned about my heath?

I said I won?t be leaving no more quicker that I can

Cause I?ve enjoyed about as 

much of this as I can stand

I don?t need this town of yours no more 

than I never needed nothin else

Cause still a lot of drinks that I ain?t drunk

lots of lovely thoughts that I ain?t thunk

and theres still a lot of wine and lonely girls

in this best of all possible worlds
