Hired Gun Songtext
von Gordon Gano & The Ryans

Sittin′ 'round here just bitin′ my thumbs
Sittin' 'round here just seein′ what comes
From slow and far away
I got nothing for you today

To say to you if you are what comes
You play like I′m through you'll see what out comes
From close and near I say
If you′re the most I fear I've little to

Guess I was a hired gun
Guess I was hired for fun
But I never hurt anyone
No one got hurt
But the ones I loved

Sittin′ 'round here just wastin′ my time
Sittin' 'round here just bastin′ my mind
The turkey in the oven
Turn over jerk we′re not done lovin'


I could be happy raising some chicks
′Cause I'm always happy I′m doing back flips
Eat chips with dips and sips
Of a gym drink by whirly pool
And now I think that you're a fool

Yes you were a hired gun
Guess you were hired for fun
But you never hurt anyone
No one got hurt
But the ones you loved

Yes we were hired guns
Way out west we were wired some funds
But we never hurt anyone
No one gets hurt
But the ones we love
But the ones we love
But the ones we love
But the ones we love

Sittin′ 'round hearin' how the yarn runs
Sittin′ ′round fearin' if this way harm comes
Sittin′ 'round hearin′ how the yarn runs
Sittin' ′round fearin' if this way harm comes


Yes you were a hired gun
No one gets hurt
But the ones we love
But the ones we love

Yes he was a hired gun
No one gets hurt
But the ones
No one gets hurt
But the ones we
No one
But the ones we love
Yes you were a hired
Yes he was a hired gun
