John Prine - Illegal Smile Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When I woke up this morning, things were lookin bad
  • Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
  • Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
  • And it was twelve oclock before I realized
  • That I was havin .. no fun
  • Chorus:
  • But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
  • And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
  • It dont cost very much, but it lasts a long while
  • Wont you please tell the man I didnt kill anyone
  • No Im just tryin to have me some fun
  • Last time I checked my bankroll,
  • It was gettin thin
  • Sometimes it seems like the bottom
  • Is the only place Ive been
  • I chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
  • And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
  • Repeat chorus:
  • 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 judges name was hoffman
  • Ah but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
  • And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
  • It dont cost very much, but it lasts a long while
  • Wont you please tell the man I didnt kill anyone
  • No Im just tryin to have me some fun
  • Well done, hot dog bun, my sisters a nun
