Story Behind The Song

I first heard the expression " Hide and watch" as a young adult in West Texas. It meant, " If you don't believe I can and will do something, step back and watch me." I thought it was a colorful expression of confidence and I wrote this song about it.

Song Description

An uptempo song of rural Texas family love and determination.

Lyrics

Hide N Watch
Category: Americana

Verse1 When I was a little shaver
Momma didn't need no switch
If I wasn't on my best behavior
Momma promised this

Chorus1 Hide 'n watch. I'm gonna come and getcha
Hide 'n watch. Gonna catchya you betcha
You can run, but you can't hide.
I'm gonna take away your pony ride.
Hide 'n watch
Hide 'n watch

Verse2 Dad just smiled when I was sixteen
And he handed me the pickup key
Said, Son take care of this machine
Or you're gonna hear from me

Chorus2 Hide 'n watch. Gonna come and getcha
Hide 'n watch. I'm gonna catchya you betcha
You can run, but you can't hide.
Gonna take away your ride,

Instrumental

Verse3 I can't forget the night we met
Working to steal a kiss
You kept playin' so hard to get
And I promised this

Chorus3 Hide 'n watch. Yeah, I'm gonna come and getcha
Hide 'n watch. I'm gonna catchya you betcha
You can run, but you can't hide.
I'm gonna take your heart for a ride,
Hide 'n watch
Hide 'n watch

Verse4 We got a child that we adore
A sweet All American miss
When all the boys come to our front door
I tell 'em this

Chorus4 Hide 'n watch. Gonna come and getcha
Hide 'n watch. I'm gonna catchya you betcha
You can run, but you can't hide.
And if I find out she cried

Outro Hide 'n watch. Gonna come and getcha
Hide 'n watch. I'm gonna catchya you betcha
Hide 'n watch.
