Song: Ho Hey by The Lumineers

I heard this song on the soundtrack of a recent tv show.  I'd share with you which show it was, but quite honestly it's not all that impressive of a show and I'd be embarrassed to openly admit that I've seen too many episodes.  However, it has on more than one occasion led me down the path towards good or decent tunes.  And the lead actress is kinda cute.
The song "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers is one of those songs.  It's a rather simple song, but for some reason I resonated with the lyrics and melody, and now it's been stuck in my head for the past several days.  I've liked this song well enough that I haven't even begun exploring the group's other music yet.
This Youtube clip is one of the best recordings of the song, although you can find a number of live performances online as well.  Enjoy, the lyrics are down below:
