| Lyrics: | Anderson)
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 handclap or a whisper,
Drink he couldn't combat but he knew 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 would 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 |
