作曲 : Kris Kristofferson
I was runnin' through the summer rain
Waiting for the evenin' train
To kill that old familiar pain
Weavin' through my tangled brain
When I tipped my bottle back
Smacked into a cop
I didn't see
That policeman said, "Mister CoolIf you ain't drunk, then you're a fool"
I said, "If that's against the lawTell me why I never sawNo man locked in this jail of yoursWasn't just as low down poor as me?"
And that's just when someone turned out the lights
Yes, and I wound up in jail to spend the night
And the dream of all the wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds
Next mornin' woke up feelin' like
My head was really gone
And like my thick old tongue
Was lickin' something sick and wrong
I said, "I'd sell my soul for somethingAbout as wet and cold as this old cell"
That kindly jailer looked at me
All eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself another beer
Came and whispered in my ear"If booze was just a dime a bottleBoy, you couldn't even buy the smell"
I said, "I knew there's something I liked about this town"
Oh, but it'll take more than that to bring me down'
Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
In 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
I said, "It's nice to learnThat everybody's so concerned about my health"
But I won't be leavin' no more quicker than
I canAnd I've enjoyed about as much of this as
I can stand
And I don't need this town of yours
No more than
I never needed nothin' else"'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunkYes, and lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunkOh yeah, there's still a lot of wine and lonely girlsIn this best of all possible worldsIn this best of all possible worldsIn this best of all possible worlds
