Aaron Tippin - Mission From Hank Lyrics
(don schlitz/thom schuyler)There was a brand new stranger at the old bus stationHe said music city is my destinationHe said the whole wide worlds gonna sing my songAnd you can take that to the bankIm on a missionIm on a missionIm on a mission from hankHe got a furnished room and a job at the marketHe kept a little notebook in his back pocketAnd every time youd see him he was writing a songAnd he would never leave one piece blank (hed say)Im on a missionIm on a missionIm on a mission from hankHe sang when no one would listenSo he sang until they hung on every wordAh then one day his phone started ringingThey said we want you and the songs youve been singingAnd the kid said fine, just give me some timeTo talk to my patron saint (you see)Im on a missionIm on a missionIm on a mission from hank(yes sir,) that night as he laid in the darknessOl? luke the drifter came to him and saidOh now heres your chance boy go on and take itYou sing from the heart and youre gonna make itBut if anybody tries to change youInto something that you aint (you tell em)Im on a missionIm on a missionIm on a mission from hankIm on a missionIm on a missionIm on a mission from hank
