The Best of All Possible Worlds — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)





I was runnin thru the summer rain, tryn 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 didnt see

That police man said, "mister cool, if you aint drunk, then youre a

Fool."

I said, "if thats against the law, then tell me why I never saw

A man locked in that jail of yours who wasnt 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 Id 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 couldnt 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 theres 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 Id be leavin town if I knew what was good for me

I said, "its nice to learn that evrybodys so concerned about my

Health."

(they were obsessed with it)

I said, "i wont be leavin no more quicker than I can

cause Ive enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand

And I dont need this town of yours more than I never needed nothin

Else."

cause theres still alot of drinks that I aint drunk

And lots of pretty thoughts that I aint thunk

And lord theres still so many lonely girls

In this best of all possible worlds.
