Lyrics
Once a peaceful man
Laid his old head down by a river
Thought about his childhood life
His father and forgiver
Who couldn't hide away, hide away
He controlled the horses with a handclap or a whisper
Drink he couldn't combat
But in all he was no sinner
Who couldn't hide away, hide away
He told all his sons of all the antics of a venture
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 peaceful man would realize
Alone is no adventure
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
