Lyrics
And i told that man i d sell my soul for something wet and cold as that old, that was when someone turned out the lights
that was when someone turned out the lights
and dream of all the wine and lonely girls
Then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear, they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free, that kindly jailer grinned at me
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
but it takes more than that to bring me down
And i told that man i d sell my soul for something wet and cold as that old, i woke up next mornin feelin like my head was gone
They were obsessed with it, that was when someone turned out the lights, in this best of all possible worlds
And i wound up in jail to spend the night, and kill the old familiar pain weavin thru my tangled brain
And i told that man i d sell my soul for something wet and cold as that old, i was runnin thru the summer rain
They were obsessed with it, and i wound up in jail to spend the night
And i d be leavin town if i knew what was good for me i said, then poured himself another beer and came and whispered in my ear
Cause there s still alot of drinks that i ain t drunk, i was runnin thru the summer rain
in this best of all possible worlds
And lord there s still so many lonely girls, then you re a fool.
And i d be leavin town if i knew what was good for me i said, if you ain t drunk, they finally came and told me they was a gonna set me free
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls, you couldn t even buy the smell
Try n to catch that evenin train, and kill the old familiar pain weavin thru my tangled brain
Cause i ve enjoyed about as much of this as i can stand, and lots of pretty thoughts that i ain t thunk, if booze was just a dime a bottle boy
And i d be leavin town if i knew what was good for me i said, that police man said
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
I woke up next mornin feelin like my head was gone, and kill the old familiar pain weavin thru my tangled brain
And i d be leavin town if i knew what was good for me i said, all eaten up with sympathy Of, a man locked in that jail of yours who wasn t neither black or poor as me?
and i don t need this town of yours more than i never needed nothin else.
in this best of all possible worlds
It s nice to learn that ev rybody s so concerned about my health., and i don t need this town of yours more than i never needed nothin else., cause there s still a lot of wine and lonely girls
In this best of all possible worlds, when i tipped my bottle back and smacked into a cop i didn t see Best, 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 wine and lonely girls Best, that kindly jailer grinned at me
all eaten up with sympathy
i knew there was something i liked about this town.
And dream of all the wine and lonely girls, try n to catch that evenin train Possible, i woke up next mornin feelin like my head was gone
that was when someone turned out the lights
that was when someone turned out the lights
