John Prine - Knockin' On Your Screen Door Lyrics

Go Handsome Johnnie! :D

Really liking his music since I discovered him just a few weeks ago !

John prine gets all the pussy

When I see a John Prine song I give it a thumbs up and then I listen to the song.

G-d loves ya

lo9ve your tune but not change in my pocket can change a life unfortunately

He's the working man's Dylan. Who writes better lyrics

Mrs. Jason Isbell Amanda Shires on the fiddle!

I always thought that Willie and Mr. Prine should put their heads together ....

John Prine is a national treasure.

I would happily give him help with his can of pork'n' beans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of my pops,,thanx john ,love you pops,,rip,

Is that the same man singing Harmony with himself? There is such a thing as too much of a good thing.

Soulful storytelling.

We will be there on Dec. 31st!!!!!

Saw this gentlemen at The Grand Ol Opey..........I am hooked... what a story teller.......When u come to Australia, Queensland,Yeppoon... come stay with us country folk..... we got The Sweet Potato Wine💝❤️❤️❤️

Matt brooks 8004190333 do u have too fly on a plane or jet to pick up chloe nikole and i up here asap my hott love matt brooks love u forever its kristin tate ur sexy fiance

As American as a country song could be . Same weight as “ The Train They Call The City of New Orleans “. American spirit embedded in both .

Unwed fathers

I have been a fan for along time With all the health problems he has continued to write, sing, and he puts on the best stage performances of any artist I have ever seen God bless John Prine! John sings How lucky can one man get? WE are the lucky ones!

What a great finger/toe tapper and head nodder. Just a great example of Americana. John Prine is the best!!!!

Is that John Cowan on bass?

who are the 12 dozen ,tone deaf ppl who thumbs down this ?? Really ?

Nice bank side John. Congratz on the singer songwriter hall of fame...way long overdue

He may not be the best but he has no equal,

John Prine Lyrics
"Knockin' On Your Screen Door"

I ain't got nobody
Hangin' round my doorstep
Ain't got no loose change
Just a hangin' round my jeans

If you see somebody
Would you send em' over my way
I could use some help here
With a can of pork and beans

I once had a family
But they up and left me
With nothing but an 8-track
Another side of George Jones

I was in high cotton
Just a bangin' on my six string
A kickin' at the trash can
Walkin' skin and bone

I can see your back porch
If I close my eyes now
I can hear the train tracks
Through the laundry on the line

I'm thinking it's your business
But you don't gotta answer
I'm knocking on your screen door
In the summertime

Everybodies out there
Climbing on the trees now
Swinging in the breeze now
Hanging on the vine

I'm dreaming 'bout a sailboat
I don't need a fur coat
Underneath a dashboard
Got some sweet potato wine

I can see your back porch
If I close my eyes now
I can hear the train tracks
Through the laundry on the line

I'm thinkin' it's your business
But you don't got to answer
I'm knockin' on your screen door
In the summertime
I'm knockin' on your screen door
In the summertime

Saw John Prine in concert 2 days ago in the Chicago area. A GREAT concert!

Can't wait to see him again. This time he's at Shea's in Buffalo, NY. Going with the boys, should be a blast!

John Prine, makes me smile, and brings light to my day!

Mr. Prine your songs make me feel happy. ❤

I see many of us still get what John Prine has to say. All my albums are in storage right now. It's nice to listen online. Thanks to everyone who posts videos so I can still hear truth. Wonderful!

When you coming to Thailand John, you can stay in my house

Going to the St Louis show May 17. Great venue a 1934 multi-million dollar upgraded opera house where the acoustics are perfect and no bad seat. I'm main mid floor mid center.

it was cancelled due to a procedure dont know what procedure but resceduled for iforget when

@Randy Bingham Oct 17 I believe. Anyway I got a refund after traveling a couple hours the day of the show. It sucked.

glorious!

is that Miss Fiona on the fiddle?

Come on in John, the doors open!

Such a great song, such a great video, and the chance to see John strumming a pool cue!!

Another gem...

He is so cool.

Lisa Mac

Love you John...Thanks for all the songs over all the years..

What a legend, John, hope you live forever.

John and band in Sydney was a joyous celebration of one of the greatest American songwriters - and it was a hoot with heart

I’m a new fan of this amazing musician I had never had heard of him he just toured Melbourne my folks had a spare ticket and was sold on the first song I’m grateful for that invite or I would have missed out on this wonderful music 😀😀😀

MG John Prine is a treasure. Please JP, keep them coming. RIP Stevie.

300,00 likes 96 thumbs down.. It's Ok not everybody gets it. An old friend said" if someone gave a guy a hundred dollar bill he would complain about the denomination!! "
That's like and John Prine taught us that!!

Wow, I totally love this.
I am a vagabond traveller living the life most people's God's that they don't believe in and profess to on a Sunday or when in dire straits should address to themselves.

that is so fuckin good.

This has been my ring tone from the day it was released. Gotta love it.

Great song

Es una pena que no ganó el grammy. Buen track \●. Saludos from Equador ...

Are there any new artist coming up through the ranks?

Just wanted to say, I love the way you live your life.

I can't put it into words, but I'll try. I have been listing to you since the 70's. I have seen you in concert so often that I've lost count. I think that is is 13 times. You got me through some tough times. I find something that speaks to me in every song. The last time was in Huntsville Al. The last concert was always the best. Love you John.

John prine fucking rocks !! The best song writer/ singer ever to grace the country music scene !!

Folk/country.

I really like John primes. Music and his stories, great wrighter and storie teller,,

I want to go drinking with Sturgill Simpson one night. :)

I love this CD of John Prine's and this song is one of the gems on it. Nice to see Margo Price at the beginning of the video :)

Hello John! Longtime no see! We gotta let get together soon as can!
I miss Al and Cowboy Jack as you do so!
Hello Mrs. Phiona-san! I'm not Rambli' Jack! Do yah remember?,,,

Don't ever shoot pool with John Prine unless you want a whoopin!

Your last Letterkenny Gig was fantastic. I was living there the time you ended up in Hospital there too.Many Moons ago. My friend, who was a Hospital Porter , said you were a legend of a Patient as well lol

ol John keeps it real!

Have followed country music all my 61 years but just discovered this great talent John Prine. Feeling very happy about that down here in New Zealand.

say hi to my old friend bryan porter Mike from Milwaukee.

hes not country honey hes a folk singer probably the best

a voice like no other and never will be again.

Prine is one of the most humorous musical commentary artists alive. Listen to what he says. I channel him in some of my original comps. Long live John.
