John Prine - Illegal Smile lyrics
Illegal Smile by John Prine When I woke up this morning, things were looking bad It seemed like total silence was the only friend I had A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down and won And it was 12 o'clock before I realized I was having no fun Ah, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality. Cho: 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 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 Ah, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality. Cho. I went into my closet with all my overalls Tryin' to get away from all the ears inside my walls. Suppose the police heard everything I thought: What then? Well, I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman Ah, but fortunately, I have the key to escape reality. Cho. |
