Illegal Smile (John Prine)
When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
seems like total silence is the only friend I have
a 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
{chorus}
but fortunately I have the key to escape reality
step up to) C G
and you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
it don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
(step up to) C G
won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
no I was just tryin' to have me some fun
last time I checked my bankroll, well 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
{repeat chorus}
I sat down in my closet with all my overalls
just tryin' to get away from all the years inside these walls
dreamed the police heard everything I thought... what then?
well I went to court and the judge's name was Hoffman
{repeat chorus}
