John Prine - Illegal Smile Lyrics

Send "Illegal Smile" ringtone to your cell

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 o'clock before i realized

That i was havin' no fun

Ah 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

Last time i checked my bankroll it was gettin' thin

Sometimes it seems like the bottom

Is the only place i've been

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

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

Ah 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 hot dog bun my sister's a nun
