Illegal Smile (Live) - John Prine
When I woke up this morning things were looking 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 having 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 trying to have me some fun
Last time I checked my bankroll it was getting 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 trying to have me some fun
Well I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
Trying 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 trying to have me some fun
