《Best of All Possible Worlds》歌词

[00:00:00] Best of All Possible Worlds - Kris Kristofferson (克里斯·克里斯托佛森)

[00:00:04] I was runnin' through the summer rain tryin' to catch the evenin' train

[00:00:09] And kill that old familiar pain weevin' through my tangled brain

[00:00:13] When I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't see

[00:00:20] That policeman said Mr Cool if you're ain't drunk then you're a fool

[00:00:27] I said if that's against the law tell me why I never saw

[00:00:31] A man locked in that jail of yours who wadn't just as lowdown poor as me

[00:00:38] Well that was when someone turned out the lights

[00:00:41] And I wound up in jail to spend the night

[00:00:47] And dream of all the wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds

[00:00:58] Well I woke up next morning feelin' like my head was gone

[00:01:03] And like my thick old tongue was lickin' somethin' sick and wrong

[00:01:08] And I told that man I'd sell my soul if somethin' wet and cold is that old cell

[00:01:16] That kindly jailer grinned at me all eaten up with sympathy

[00:01:21] Then bought himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear

[00:01:26] That booze was just a dime a bottle boy you couldn't even buy the smell

[00:01:32] I said I knew there was somethin' I liked about this town

[00:01:37] But it takes more than that to bring me down down down

[00:01:41] Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds

[00:01:50] Well they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free

[00:01:57] And I'd be leavin' town if I knew what was good for me

[00:02:01] I said it's nice to learn that everybody's so concerned about my health

[00:02:11] I said I won't be leavin' no more quicker than I can

[00:02:15] Cause I've enjoyed about this much of this as I can stand

[00:02:20] And I don't need this town of yours more than I've never needed nothing else

[00:02:26] Cause there's still a lotta drinks that I ain't drunk

[00:02:31] Lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thought oh yeah

[00:02:35] Lord there's still so many lonely girls in this best of all possible worlds
