Darryl James - The Hired Band lyrics

[Verse 1] Riding off to the sun On a horse with blazing guns Mama don't come looking for me Spinning out of control This 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 control [Chorus] And 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 band [Verse 2] People say I'm strange So I'm trying to make a change Mama don't come looking for me Spinning out of control I 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 control [Chorus] And 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 band And 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 band [Verse 3] Singing songs of hope But I don't know where to go Mama don't come looking for me Spinning out of control Troubled days are gone But the nights are still long Mama don't come looking for me Spinning out of control Spinning out of control [Chorus 2] And 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 band And 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
