Once a peaceful man laid his old head down by a river   Thought about his childhood life, his father and forgiver   Couldn't hide away, hide away      He controlled the horses with a hand clap or a whisper   Drink he couldn't combat but he know he was no sinner   Couldn't hide away, hide away      He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure   Then he told another one who drove himself to drink   Not to hide away, hide away      Better men have realized alone is not a venture   A decent man have realize alone is not a venture   Just to hide away, hide away      He told all his sons of all the antics of adventure   Then he told another one who drove himself to drink   Not to hide away, hide away      Hide away   Hide away   Hide away   Hide away
