I was runnin' through the summer rain Tryin' to catch that evenin' train And kill that old familiar pain Weavin' through my tangled brain But when I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't see That policeman said, "Mr. Cool If you're ain't drunk then you're a fool" I said, "Well, if that's against the law Then tell me why I never saw A man locked in that jail of yours That wouldn't just as lowdown poor as me" Well, that was when someone turned out the lights And 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 Well, I woke up next morning Feelin' like my head was gone And like my thick old tongue Was lickin' somethin' sick and long And I told that man I'd sell my soul For somethin' wet and cold in that old cell Well, that kindly jailer just grinned at me All eaten up with sympathy Then he poured himself another beer And he came and whispered in my ear That booze was just a dime a bottle Boy, you couldn't even buy the smell I said, "I knew there was somethin' I liked bout this town But it takes more than that to bring me down, down, down, down" But there's a lot of wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds Well, they finally came and they told me They was a gonna set me free And that I'd be leavin' town If I knew what was good for me I said, "It's nice to learn that everybody's So concerned about my health" I said, "I won't be leavin' no more Quicker than I fastly can 'Cause I've enjoyed about As much of this as I can stand And I don't need this town of yours more Than I never needed nothin' else" 'Cause there's still a lot of drinks that I ain't drunk And there's lots of pretty thoughts that I ain't thought, oh yeah And Lord, there's still so many lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds Well, step right up to the wild [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible] to the young Step back, step back [Incomprehensible] [Incomprehensible]
