Kristofferson Kris - Best Of All Possible Worlds Tabs

~The Best Of All Possible Worlds~
Kris Kristofferson

I was driving through the pouring rain
Trying to catch the evening train
and kill that old familiar pain 
weaving through my tangled brain
and when I tipped my bottle back
I smacked into a cop I didn’t see
That policeman said Mr. Cool 
if you ain’t drunk then your a fool
I said if thats against the law 
then tell me why I never saw
one man locked in that jail of yours
 who wasn’t either black or poor as me
Thats 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

(solo)

I woke up next morning felling like my head was gone
like my big old tongue was 
licking something dead and wrong
I told the man I’d swap my soul for 
something wet and cold as that old cell
That kindly jailer looked at me
all eaten up with sympathy
and poured himself another beer 
then came and whispered in my ear
“Boy if booze was just a dime a bottle
you couldn’t even buy the smell”
I said I knew there was something I liked about this town
It takes more than that to bring me down
theres still a lot of wine and lonely girls
in this best of all possible worlds

(solo)

In time they came and told me 
they were going to set me free
that I’d be leaving town if 
I knew what was good for me
I said “It’s nice to hear that everybodys 
so concerned about my heath”
I said I won’t be leaving no more quicker that I can
Cause I’ve enjoyed about as 
much of this as I can stand
I don’t need this town of yours no more 
than I never needed nothin else
Cause still a lot of drinks that I ain’t drunk
lots of lovely thoughts that I ain’t thunk
and theres still a lot of wine and lonely girls
in this best of all possible worlds
