I've been hiding I've been hiding from the crowd 'Cause they all talk very loud And they never seem to stop I've been hiding But I don't want to hide no more Neither want to start a war I just want things to be calm I'm a quiet man, I'm a quiet man I'm a quiet man, I'm a quiet man That's what I am Now I'm searching I am searching on a map For a place where I can start But It is harder than I thought Then I'm driving With a promise in my heart Only following my gut And I think I will head north I'm a quiet man, I'm a quiet man I'm a quiet man, I'm a quiet man Would you keep it down just for a bit? I need quietness, I need silence 'Cause I 'm a quiet man, I'm a quiet man, yeah I'm a quiet man, oh oh oh I'm a quiet man, I need quietness But they all talk very loud, very loud to me I'm a quiet man, oh oh oh I'm a quiet man, I need quietness Would you please just keep it down, keep it down for me? I'm a quiet man
