Artist/Band: Tim O'Brien
Lyrics for Song: The Perfect Place To Hide
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Tim O'Brien



I won't say it'll work for you but I know it did for me

When I found myself a special place where I'm happy with all I see

Now I make each day to go my way with a slow and steady speed

With a jeweler's eye I've chipped away at the things that I don't need



Started out with one sip and it really doesn't take too long

'Til you lose and need to turn around, doesn't seem so wrong

Drown your head in a whiskey cloud 'til you're blind on every side

You never miss what's going on, it's the perfect place to hide



Me, I had a woman once, she said she'd see me through

But I guess, I didn't need her, there was nothing that I could do

When she came up to me one day said, "It's your drinkin' ways or me"

I can't live my life with one who's too sick from drink to see



Now she's gone it's just as well I can live my life my way

I'm a simple man, I didn't do her wrong, she just got in my way

There's no trick to the harvest if you never plant a seed

And this bottle here beside my bed, it's the only friend I need



Started out one sip and it really doesn't take too long

'Til you lose and need to turn around, doesn't seem so wrong

Drown your head in a whiskey cloud 'til you're blind on every side

You never miss what's going on, it's the perfect place to hide
