Best of All Possible Worlds--Kris Kristofferson
I was runnin' thru the summer rain try'n' to catch that evenin' train
And kill the old familiar pain weavin' thru my tangled brain
When I tipped my bottle back and smacked into a cop I didn't see

That police man said "Mister Cool if you ain't drunk then you're a fool "
I said "If that's against the law then tell me why I never saw
A man locked in that jail of yours who wasn't neither black or 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' something sick and wrong

And I told that man I'd sell my soul for something wet and cold as that old cell

That kindly jailer grinned at me all eaten up with sympathy
Then poured himself 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 something 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 "

(They were obsessed with it)
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
And lord there's still so many lonely girls

In this best of all possible worlds
