| John Prine Illegal Smile |
 |
| When I woke up this mornin'... things were looking bad. Seemes like total silence... was the only friend I had. A bowl of oatmeal try'd to stare me down & won. It was twelve oclock before I realised I was having no fun. Ahh... but fortunantly. I have the key to escape reality. & You may see me tonight with an illigal smile. It don't cost very much... but it last a long while. Won't you lease 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 gettin thin. Sometimes it seems like the bottom... is the only place I been. Chased a rainbow down a one way street. Dead-End. & Alll my friends turned out to be insurance... salesmen. Ahh... but fortunately... I have the key to escape reality. & You may see me tonight... with an illigal smile. It don't cost very much... but it last 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 over alls. Trying to get away from... all the ears inside the walls. Dreamed the police heard everything I thought. What then. Well I went to court & the judges name was... hogman. Ahh... but fortunantly... I have the key to escape reality. & You may see me tonight... with an illigal smile. It don't cost very much... but it last a long while. Won't you please tell the man... I didn't kill anyone. I'm just trying to have me some fun. Well done... hot dog bun... my sisters a nun. |
