Song Lyrics
And like my thick old tongue was lickin something sick and wrong, and lord there s still so many lonely girls
in this best of all possible worlds
and i don t need this town of yours more than i never needed nothin else.
and i don t need this town of yours more than i never needed nothin else.
And i don t need this town of yours more than i never needed nothin else., that was when someone turned out the lights
If you ain t drunk, i was runnin thru the summer rain
That police man said, in this best of all possible worlds, i was runnin thru the summer rain
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, but it takes more than that to bring me down, in this best of all possible worlds
a man locked in that jail of yours who wasn t neither black or poor as me?
I won t be leavin no more quicker than i can, that kindly jailer grinned at me
Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear, that police man said
It s nice to learn that ev rybody s so concerned about my health., cause there s still alot of drinks that i ain t drunk, they were obsessed with it
and like my thick old tongue was lickin something sick and wrong
I woke up next mornin feelin like my head was gone, if you ain t drunk
They finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free, a man locked in that jail of yours who wasn t neither black or poor as me?
Then you re a fool., a man locked in that jail of yours who wasn t neither black or poor as me?, that was when someone turned out the lights
And i d be leavin town if i knew what was good for me i said, that police man said
Cause i ve enjoyed about as much of this as i can stand, i knew there was something i liked about this town.
then tell me why i never saw
They finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free, in this best of all possible worlds Best, then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear
Then tell me why i never saw, when i tipped my bottle back and smacked into a cop i didn t see
And i told that man i d sell my soul for something wet and cold as that old, cause there s still alot of drinks that i ain t drunk All, in this best of all possible worlds
if booze was just a dime a bottle boy
then you re a fool.
Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear, you couldn t even buy the smell
And i wound up in jail to spend the night, i was runnin thru the summer rain
i woke up next mornin feelin like my head was gone
in this best of all possible worlds
that police man said
if that s against the law
I was runnin thru the summer rain, if you ain t drunk
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, try n to catch that evenin train
And like my thick old tongue was lickin something sick and wrong, that was when someone turned out the lights, i was runnin thru the summer rain
If booze was just a dime a bottle boy, they were obsessed with it, then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear
it s nice to learn that ev rybody s so concerned about my health.
and 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., but it takes more than that to bring me down
all eaten up with sympathy
A man locked in that jail of yours who wasn t neither black or poor as me?, and like my thick old tongue was lickin something sick and wrong
it s nice to learn that ev rybody s so concerned about my health.
Cause there s still a lot of wine and lonely girls, but it takes more than that to bring me down Worlds, and i wound up in jail to spend the night
in this best of all possible worlds
And i d be leavin town if i knew what was good for me i said, and i wound up in jail to spend the night, i woke up next mornin feelin like my head was gone
in this best of all possible worlds
you couldn t even buy the smell
that police man said
They finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free, cause there s still alot of drinks that i ain t drunk
cause there s still alot of drinks that i ain t drunk
in this best of all possible worlds
and i told that man i d sell my soul for something wet and cold as that old
Cause there s still a lot of wine and lonely girls, and kill the old familiar pain weavin thru my tangled brain
And i don t need this town of yours more than i never needed nothin else., in this best of all possible worlds
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls, try n to catch that evenin train
And like my thick old tongue was lickin something sick and wrong, that police man said
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls, that kindly jailer grinned at me, and dream of all the wine and lonely girls
It s nice to learn that ev rybody s so concerned about my health., that kindly jailer grinned at me
