Gimme Peace - Tom T. Hall

Let me sit on your porch, let me drink a beer

Let me scratch that hound dog’s ear

Let me rock in your rocking chair

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace

Show me your garden, I love to hoe

Let me walk in a fertile row

I got some seeds that I’d like to sow

And when that evening sun goes down

Drive me into your hometown

Let me buy your friends a round

Let me drink water from your well

Tell me a story that you’d like to tell

I think you’ll find that I’ll listen well

When you’ve had all of me that you can take

Say so long with a strong handshake

Don’t get to drinkin' and ask me to stay

And when that evening sun goes down

Drive me into your hometown

I’ll catch that next truck outward-bound
