A Venture

Yes

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
