When I was a young boy, pride of my family |
|
And my mama used to hang me out to dry |
|
You know the boy couldn't have it |
|
Sometimes he just had to find |
|
A hiding place to hang his head and cry |
|
Talking about a hiding place, hiding place |
|
Little bit of shelter from the blues |
|
Here I am as a young man, my feet out on the highway |
|
Summer breeze to tell me what to do |
|
I might meet a young lady and stop off for a while |
|
Reality thought blowing through |
|
Talking about a hiding place, hiding place |
|
A little bit of shelter from the blues |
|
And it ain't no disgrace if you gotta hide your face |
|
We all need the hiding place to get us through |
|
Yes, we do |
|
Oh, I can tell the difference between right and wrong |
|
I can't always tell which one's best for me |
|
But I know this dirty city like the back of my dirty hand |
|
And still can't seem to find no sanity |
|
Now I'm looking out a window and you are looking in |
|
And we both are thinking and we like just what we see |
|
You say you can't be certain, baby, what I see in you |
|
But you're [Incomprehensible] what you see in me |
|
Talking about a hiding place, a hiding place |
|
Just a little bit of shelter from the blues |
|
And it ain't no disgrace if you got to hide your face |
|
We all need a hiding place to get us through |
|
Talking about a hiding place, hiding place |
|
We all need a hiding place to get us through |
