Alison Krauss And Union Station – No Place To Hide lyrics

(Bob Lucas)

When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry if the river rose too high
That all the seeds we planted would get washed out with the tide.

But now I am a man and I need a place to hide
But there's nowhere to run and there's no place to hide
Where the water runs free and the mud starts to slide.

--- Fiddle Instrumental ---

When I was a young man I could work through wind and rain
I never thought to worry had no reason to complain
I thought that I was standing on a rock so firm and strong
But it was easy then to see just what was right and what was wrong.
But now I am a man I won't be hanging round too long.

--- Mandolin - Banjo Instrumental ---

When I was a child I used to love to watch the rain
I'd stand under the downspout let the water cool my brain
I never thought to worry if the river rose too high
That all the seeds we planted would get washed out with the tide.

Where the water runs free and the mud starts to slide

--- Banjo Instrumental to fade ---
