Woke up this morning, singing "Illegal smile".
"Oh, but, fortunately, I have the key
To escape reality.
Oh, you may see me tonite 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.
I'm just out to have me some fun."
Finish the chorus, if you can.

The last 2 lines of this Rolling Stone article sum up John the man:
Last year, Prine was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Onstage, he summed up why he chose a life as a songwriter: “I gotta say, there’s no better feeling than having a killer song in your pocket, and you’re the only one in the world who’s heard it.”
