I was runnin' the summer rain for the evenin' train To kill that old familiar Weavin' my tangled brain I tipped my bottle back Smacked into a cop I see
That said, "Mister Cool If you ain't drunk, you're a fool" I said, "If against the law me why I never saw No man locked in jail of yours Wasn't as low down poor as me?"
And that's just someone turned out the lights Yes, and I up in jail to spend the night And the of all the wine and lonely girls In this best of all worlds
Next mornin' woke up feelin' My head was gone And like my thick old Was lickin' something and wrong I said, "I'd sell my soul for About as wet and cold as old cell"
kindly jailer looked at me All eaten up with Then poured himself another and whispered in my ear "If booze was just a a bottle Boy, you couldn't buy the smell"
I said, "I knew there's something I liked this town" Oh, but it'll take than that to bring me down there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls In this of all possible worlds
Well, finally came and told me They was a gonna set me And I'd be leavin' If I knew what was for me I said, "It's to learn That everybody's so about my health"
But I won't be no more quicker than I can And I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can And I don't this town of yours No more than I never needed else"
'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I drunk Yes, and lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't Oh yeah, there's still a lot of wine and lonely In this of all possible worlds In this best of all possible In this of all possible worlds
