가사
[Verse 1]
I was runnin' through the summer rain
And try'n to catch that evenin' train
And kill the old familiar pain
Weavin' through my tangles brain
When I tipped my bottle back
I smacked into a cop I didn't see
[Verse 2]
That police 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 neither black or poor as me?
[Verse 3]
Well that was when someone turned out the lights
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
[Verse 4]
Well I woke up next mornin' feelin' like my head was gone
And like my thick old tongue was lickin' something sick and wrong
I told that man I'd sell my soul
For something wet and cold as that old cell
[Verse 5]
That kindly jailer grinned at me, all eaten up with sympathy
And poured himself another beer
And came and whispered in my ear
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy
You couldn't even by the smell
I said, I knew there was something I liked about this town
It takes more than that to bring me down
There's still a lot of wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds
[Verse 6]
Course that was a long time ago, don't you know?
We don't get in trouble like that anymore
Willy does
[Verse 7]
They finally came and told me they was gonna set me free
That 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 wont be leavin' no more quicker than I can
'Cause I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand
I don't need this town of yours
More than I never needed nothin' else
[Verse 8]
'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk
And I ain't going to
Lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thunk
And Lord there's still do many lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds
