I need to touch a live unbeaten earth
So that's where I'm going
I know a town in Northwest Mexico
Where the sun is gold and life exists

Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly

My country got raped by big industry
We'll just have to wing it
The concrete strips raw greed and King TV
They say, "So what", I say, "So this"

Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly

I can hear children's voices leaning in a yard
When I hear children's voices
My feelings aren't so hard

Your honest face
Your quiet simple grace
You are one thing I will not waste

Hideaway, hideaway truly
Hideaway, hideaway truly, truly, truly
