Illegal Smile - John Prine
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
We'll last time I checked my bankroll it was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I have been
A 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 it's your turn
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
Say it again
Hot dog bun
My sister's a nun
My sister a nun
My sister a nun
My sister a nun
Did you understand
