Kris Kristofferson Best of All Possible Worlds Letras:
I was runnin' through the summer rain,
Try'n' to catch that evenin' train,
And kill the old familiar pain,
Weavin' thru my tangled brain.
But when I tipped my bottle back,
I smacked into a cop I didn't see.

That po-lice man said, "Mister Cool,
If you ain't drunk, then you're a fool."
I said, "If that's against the law,
Tell me why I never saw,
A man locked in that jail of yours
Who wasn't just as low-down poor as me?"

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,
((In this best of all possible worlds.))

Well, I woke up next mornin'
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,
For somethin' wet and cold as that old cell.

That kindly jailer grinned at me,
All eaten up with sympathy.
Then poured hisself another beer,
And came and whispered in my ear,
"If 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,
((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 learn that ev'rybody's
So concerned about my health."

I 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 never needed nothin' else."

'Cause there's still alot of drinks that I ain't drunk.
And lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk. Oooh, yeah.
And lord there's still so many lonely girls,
((In this best of all possible worlds.))
