Letras

[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
