Ain't Hurtin' Nobody Lyrics - Singles - John Prine

"I'm a walkin' down the street 

Like Lucky LaRue 

Got my hand in my pocket 

Thinkin' 'bout you 

I ain't hurtin' nobody 

I ain't hurtin' no one 

There's three hundred men 

In the State of Tennessee 

They're waiting to die 

They won't never be free 

I ain't hurtin' nobody 

I ain't hurtin' no one

Watch Cardi B Joins James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Six million seven hundred thousand 

And thirty-three lights on 

You'd think someone could take the time 

To sit down and listen to the words of my song 

At the beach in Indiana 

I was nine years old 

Heard Little Richard singing "Tutti Frutti" 

From the top of a telphone pole 

I wasn't hurtin' nobody 

I wasn't hurtin' no one 

There's roosters layin' chickens 

And chickens layin' eggs 

Farm machinery eating people's arms and legs 

I ain't hurtin' nobody 

I ain't hurtin' no one 

Perfectly crafted popular hit songs never use the wrong rhyme 

You'd think that waitress could get my order 

Right the first time 

Photos 

She's sittin' on the back steps 

Just shuckin' that corn 

That gal's been grinnin' 

Since the day she was born 

She ain't hurtin' nobody 

She ain't hurtin' no one 

I used to live in Chicago 

Where the cold wind blows 

I delivered more junk mail 

Than the junkyard would hold 

I wasn't hurtin' nobody 

I wasn't hurtin' no one 

You can fool some of the people part of the time 

In a rock and roll song 

Fifty million Elvis Presley fans 

Can't be all wrong"
