"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
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
ย
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 hurtin' nobody
I ain't hurtin' no one
I ain't hurtin' nobody
I ain't hurtin' no one

Hurting nobody
Hurting no one

Hurting nobody

Hurting nobody
