Roger Miller - Best Of All Possible Worlds слова песни
I was runnin` through the summer rain tryin` to catch that evenin` trainAnd kill that old familiar pain weevin` through my tangled brainBut when I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn`t seeThat policeman said Mr Cool if you`re ain`t drunk then you`re a foolI said well if that`s against the law then tell me why I never sawA man locked in that jail of yours who wadn`t just as lowdown poor as meWell that was when someone turned out the lightsAnd I wound up in jail to spend the nightsAnd dream of all the wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worldsWell I woke up next morning feelin` like my head was goneAnd like my thick old tongue was lickin` somethin` sick and wrongAnd I told that man I`d sell my soul if somethin` wet and cold is that old cellThat kindly jailer just grinned at me all eaten up with sympathyThen he bought himself another beer and came and whispered in my earThat booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn`t even buy the smellI said I knew there was somethin` I liked about this townBut it takes more than that to bring me down down down downBut there`s still a lot of wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worldsWell they finally came and they told me they was a gonna set me freeAnd I`d be leavin` town if I knew what was good for meI said it`s nice to learn that everybody`s so concerned about my healthI said I won`t be leavin` no more quicker than I fastly canCause I`ve enjoyed about this much of this as I can standAnd I don`t need this town of yours more than I never needed nothin` elseHa ha cause there`s still a lotta drinks that I ain`t drunkLots of pretty thoughts that I ain`t never thought oh yeahLord there`s still so many lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds
