lyrics

One last illegal smile, I’d bet my land and titles
Oh, I know you wanna kill your idols but yr idols are dead
This ain’t no church revival, this ain’t no public recital
No one wants a second viewing once you chart a course to ruin, no one ever calls from Vegas just to wonder how you’re doing
I can’t see for miles -- but -- I’d bet my land and titles

Someone went nearly berzerk, somebody's looking for work
When a reputation needs rebuilding, it's not the shirt and shoes your killed in, it's how they put you in the dirt
Once your assets have grown, you've learned to change your tone
Once you recognize the difference between "there’s nobody's there," and “there’s nobody home"
Now Jack she is a banker, and Jane he is a clerk, and from the moment you dropped anchor, you've been acting like a jerk
Just one question I have for you, before you turn in all your tiles, how'd you end up on the jury when I sang “All My Trials?”
You know it's all on file, I'd bet my land and titles

Five lanes, three days, burning down the highways, moving with a purpose, at excessive speed
When everything went unchecked, when everything went sideways, Jackie always takes a little more than she needs

Night at the switching yard, the men are tough and hard
If you take the literature at its word, Some things are so improbable, they’re practically assured
One last illegal smile, John Prine’s in exile
No one wants the proof of concept, once the verdict is contempt, no one knows the difference between an execution and a compliment
And I can’t see for miles -- I’d bet my land and titles
