Meaning of "Ain't Nothing To Me" by Johnny Winter

The lyrics convey a cautionary tale about the dangers of getting involved with someone who is already in a committed relationship. The narrator tries to warn the person sitting next to him at the bar about the presence of a jealous partner who will not tolerate any interference in their relationship. The narrator's statement about preferring prison implies that the consequences of getting involved with this woman are severe. However, the person ignores the warning and engages with the woman, resulting in a violent confrontation. The tragic outcome serves as a reminder that actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences can be deadly. The narrator's apathetic response to the events portrays a certain detachment from emotional involvement, suggesting that he has learned to distance himself from such situations and accepts the harsh reality of life.
