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 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 No man locked in this jail of yours Wasn'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 something About 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 bottle Boy, 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 learn That everybody's so concerned about my health" But I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can And 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 drunk Yes, and lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk Oh yeah, there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds In this best of all possible worlds In this best of all possible worlds
