john prine - illegal smile (live) lyrics

Loading...

when i woke up this morning, things were lookin’ bad
seem like total silence was the only friend i had
a bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won
and it was twelve o’clock before i realized that i was havin’, no fun

aah, but fortunately, i have the key to escape reality
and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
it don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
won’t you please tell the man, i didn’t kill anyone
no, i’m just tryin’ to have me some fun

well, last time i checked my bankroll, it was gettin’ thin
sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place i’ve been
i chased a rainbow down a one-way street, dead end
and all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen

aah, but fortunately, i have the key to escape reality
and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
it don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
won’t you please tell the man, i didn’t kill anyone
no, i’m just tryin’ to have me some fun

well, i sat down in my closet with all my overalls
tryin’ to get away from all the ears inside my walls
i dreamed the police heard everything i thought, what then?
well, i went to court and the judge’s name was hoffman

aah, but fortunately, i have the key to escape reality
and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
it don’t cost very much, but it lasts a long while
won’t you please tell the man, i didn’t kill anyone
no i’m just tryin’ to have me some fun

well done, son of a gun
hot dog bun
attila the hun
my sister-in-law is an irish nun
