John Prine - Quiet Man Lyrics
Strolling down the highway with my shoes in my hand
I don't talk much I'm a quiet man
Beauty and silence both run deep
And running like crazy while you are asleep
You got news for me, I got nothing for you
Don't pin your blues on me
Just go ahead and do whatever you wish to
Last Monday night I saw a fight
Between Wednesday and Thursday over Saturday night
Tuesday asked me what was going on I said,
"Sunday's in the meadow and Friday's in the corn."
[Chorus]
Hocus-pocus, Maladjusted
Don't you think my tears get rusted
Steady losing means you ain't using
What you really think is right
[Chorus]
Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.
Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.
Oodles of light what a beautiful sight
Both of God's eyes are shining tonight
Rays and beams of incredible dreams
And I am a quiet man.

John Prine Quiet Man Comments
Where would I be without John prine. Thanks lord and John. My first concert was John Hartford and John prine boone county fair grounds 1975 ?
Love this album, but my stranded on an island album would be Highway 61 Revisited.
Words to live by
Yep, one of the best albums ever. Ever.
John Prine one of the greats
this song reminds me of my brother in law my sister's husband Eric he is a quiet guy he doesn't ever say much.
Kriss Kristoferson brought him to the stage and Johnny Cash brought Kriss
Definitely in my top 3!

Mr. Prine has Alot of GOOD Albums , But ive been listening to this one ,his first , since 1978 , and i think this is my Favorite.
peter betts... what would be your next 2 choices of his after this album?
mat 1 1 trick well first of all i would have to say that if u can find the quality in Prine music ..Duh.. , you can find something on all his albums that you will enjoy , but with out looking back at his discography i would say his 2nd , Diamounds in the Rough , and BRUISED Orange .
brilliant every aspect is just more brilliant!
I really like the electric guitar solo in this song, makes me wonder what it would have been like if he would have kept going in that direction, maybe Kenny Rogers and the First Edition?
Poet, Philosopher,and nice guy ! Love him NOW !
one of the best song writers ever!
YOU GOT NEWS FOR ME...I GOT NOTHIN FOR YOU❤️ GOD BLESS JOHN PRINE!!!❤️
Love it havent heard this beauty since the late eightys
Tony Feighery the)9
Mine would be Bustin' out PPL. But this might be in the top two or three for me.
one of the best pieces of vinyl ever cut.
yeah ~
I was just gifted this vinyl. You are 100% correct.
One of my favorites.
I love this album
Mule sez-I've listened, sang, played, lived, And pretty much held my thoughts to these standard's--so far -- so good--
Wow , more than 40 year and this song still does it for me. Great song.
will you put up billy the bum????????
Singen my song again way to go J.P. thanks for posting
First heard this song way back in '71-72 . Still one of my favorites .
I've listened to him for yeeeears, and first, I thought he was a "protest" singer. Listen to more and he sounds sorta country. Listen to more, and he's nothing but a really grea musician.
prine is brilliant! that is what he is!
+Trey Stewart ready to get his new record!
If I were on an island with just one CD, I'd just have to swim back for more.
This album.
Excellent song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got News for Me?
I Got Nothing for You!
