Karaoké Ain't Hurtin' Nobody John Prine

I'm a-walkin' down the street like Lucky Larue

Got my hand in my pocket thinkin' 'bout you

I ain't a-hurtin' nobody

I ain't a-hurtin' no one

There's three hundred men in the state of Tennessee

They're waitin' to die

They won't never be free

I ain't hurtin' nobody

I ain't a-hurtin' no one

Six million seven hundred thousand and thirty-three lights on

You 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 singin' Tutti Frutti from the top of a telephone pole

I wasn't hurtin' nobody

I wasn't hurtin' no one

There's roosters layin' chickens and chickens layin' eggs

Farm machinery eatin' people's arms and legs

I ain't hurtin' nobody

I ain't a-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

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

I'm a-walkin' down the street like Lucky Larue

Got my hand in my pocket baby thinkin' 'bout you

I ain't a-hurtin' nobody

I ain't a-hurtin' no one

I ain't a-hurtin' nobody

I ain't a-hurtin' no one

Hurtin' nobody

Hurtin' no one

Hurtin' nobody

Hurtin' no one

Hurtin' nobody

Hurtin' no one
