Lyrics:
I'm a walkin' down the street like Lucky Larue
Got my hand in my pocket I'm 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
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 singing "Tutti Frutti"
From the top of a telephone pole
I wasn't hurtin' nobody
I wasn't hurtin' no one
There's roosters laying chickens and chickens layin' eggs
Farm machinery eating people's arms and legs
I wasn't hurtin' nobody
I wasn'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
She's sitting on the back steps just shucking that corn
That gal's been grinning 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

Mr. Prine was EXTREMELY UNDERRATED.

[@markrush5013]

underrated? maybe by the kiddies...but who cares what they think?

[@papawoffour2562]

well If you didn't "grow up" listening to him maybe you could write a letter to Dear Abby, and wear an illegal smile?@@markrush5013

[@joey-iz3td]

He's the best in my book except maybe Dylan.

[@VadenChandler888]

@@markrush5013 I know what you mean. I meant that he didn't get the recognition he should have. Even when I was a KID MYSELF, I liked this song. I thought it was pretty cool and still do.

[@BassPlayerSusan]

What John Mellencamp said..."Losing John Prine is like losing Moses. He stood on top of the hill and he gave us words of wisdom and truth. John Prine and I wrote songs together and made a movie together. We laughed together, and he spent many a lost weekend at my house. John Prine’s name is written in the stars. And we should all be happy that he has left us with such wonderful songs and records, just like Moses leaving tablets, that remind us what it is to be a good person and a great songwriter."

[@richardcoram1562]

Respect to you BPS. So sorry for such a great loss, and the unfinished chapters.

"Six million ,seven hundred thousand and thirty three lights on,You think somebody could take the time to listen to the words of my song" that lyric along with the rest of the song is tight

[@millzee]

A good friend of mine was in prison and was playing Prine when other inmates began to encourage him to play more. He became a great 12 string guitarists before he was taken home by pancreatic cancer. Brian Brown was his name , from west central Ind. Lost Dogs was the name of his band.

[@joetillman3806]

i aint lying i am religious but JP has gotten me thru

[@Juliamiller56]

I’ve been listening to him since 1972 & it was a ‘love at 1st sight’ Kind of thing. Sam Stone & Flag Decal was the introduction ❤️❤️

[@thomasconrad2729]

I feel the same way about him. I've been listening to him since 1976. Hearing about him being sick with the virus was a punch in the gut.

25 years listening to this timeless track from the great "Lost Dogs & Mixed Blessings". It is so sad that this dreadful virus has taken such a talented musician from us all. John Prine, R.I.P. Your music will never be forgotten.

[@rexgaub1229]

One of his best albums. So many good tunes on it.

[@rexgaub1229]

Not a bad cut on the whole album.

[@papichulo5552]

Ummm, smoking 2-3 packs a day for decades is what killed him. Heart disease.

[@joemarshall4226]

@@papichulo5552 Another victim of the Covid psy-op

[@SeeGerl]

Nope. COVID killed him. He was still touring when the pandemic hit. He had more shows left in him that he would've played if not for that virus. His age, lifestyle, and medical history put him more at risk, but it was COVID that took him out in the end. 😔 Miss him so! ❤️

[@johnkuipers8625]

Funny how fans pop up who total y forgot they once loved John's songs and then there's people like you who are being turned on xx what blessings he is receiving now for passing on his blessings while he was here...

[@johnkuipers8625]

It

[@pamelamiddleton9657]

Without question, for me, the epitome of a singer/song writer. I was lucky enough to see him in a very intimate setting. Leon Redbone opened! Amazing. I was so sad when he died. I'm still sad. This man was magic.

[@davidwilliams9795]

I became a John Prine fan in the 70's after hearing 🎶"there's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes"🎶 I was HOOKED "pun intended"😉 I wasn't expecting a tear rolling down as I found out he passed on my birthday April 7th but I wasn't surprised about tears. I felt I'd lost a lifelong friend. The Man is gone but his music lives on!

[@ciderale]

I always imagine I live like a John Prine song. They play in my head like narration. Sometimes I am Lucky LaRue, Somtimes I am Darling Jim. His music is just a part of me.

[@susanpremo8068]

Sometimes ya hate when a song keeps going through your head, never feel that with a John Prine song.

[@lindagray8534]

One of the very very best! R. I.P. John

[@geneprokopf1578]

So Long, John. We'll Miss Ya, Buddy.

[@susunque2245]

I can only imagine 🤔 your not sitting at the top of a telephone pole, listening to "Little Richard" singing tutti Frutti"..😏😉 Hard to accept the loss of any Legend,..😣much less 2 Legends so close😪😥 SO..it "helps" by knowing YoU were a Little Richard Fan too💞💯👏👏 Heavens been Blessed! RIP 🙏John Prine..RIP🙏..Little Richard.. (Thanks for putting Macon on the MaP)😉👏💯
