The Hired Band - The Strumbellas

The Hired Band Lyrics

Riding off to the sun
On a horse with blazing guns
Mama don't come looking for me
Spinning out of controlThis shaky heart is young
But it's learning how to love
Mama don't come looking for me
Spinning out of control
Spinning out of controlAnd I want you to know
That I'm a lion man
I'm a trying man
And I want you to know
That I'm a a lion man
I'm the hired bandPeople say I'm strange
So I'm trying to make a change
Mama don't come looking for me
Spinning out of controlI don't know what I am
But I'm doing the best I can
Mama don't come looking for me

Spinning out of control
Spinning out of controlAnd I want you to know
That I'm a lion man
I'm a trying man
And I want you to know
That I'm a a lion man
I'm the hired bandAnd I want you to know
That I'm a lion man
I'm a trying man
And I want you to know
That I'm a a lion man
I'm the hired bandSinging songs of hope
But I don't know where to go
Mama don't come looking for me
Spinning out of controlTroubled days are gone
But the nights are still long
Mama don't come looking for me
Spinning out of control
Spinning out of controlAnd I want you to know
That I'm a lion man
I'm a trying man
And I want you to know
That I'm a lion man
I'm the hired bandAnd I want you to know
I'm a lion man
I'm a tired man
And I want you to know
That I'm a lion man
I'm the hired band
