My Petition歌词
歌手：Kenny Rogers 专辑：Water & Bridges
作曲 : Wade Kirby/Ashley Gorley/Bryan Simpson
Artist：kenny rogers
Songs Title：my petition
I just sat down to watch the game when I heard the doorbell ring
An＇ I wondered who in the world it could be
Through the peephole, all that I saw there
Was a crooked cap on curly hair an＇ some kid squintin＇ back at me
I said, ＂If you＇re sellin＇ somethin＇, well, I ain＇t buyin＇ nothin＇
But I appreciate you stoppin＇ by.＂
Said: ＂I ain＇t askin＇ for a dime, just a minute of your time
An＇ your name here on the dotted line
Could you sign my petition?＂
Had a spiral notebook in his hand
Handed me a chewed up pen
An＇ I ask you: ＂What am I signin＇ up for.＂
I scrolled down that wrinkled page
Saw a couple of neighbors names
I kept readin＇, then I sat down on the porch
It was a letter to the President
With a list that numbered one to ten.
It said: ＂Make a law where Daddy＇s don＇t work late
Keep Uncle Joe an＇ those soldiers safe
Give those kids on TV all they want to eat
Put a stop to bullies on the bus
No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs
Give a blanket and a job to people on the street.＂
I said: ＂Son, sounds like a world I＇d like to live in.＂
And I signed his petition.
He thanked me for my time
I headed back inside, grabbed my beer
An＇ got back to the game
Thought: ＂By now that boy he＇s three doors down
＂Here I am just sittin＇ round
Waitin＇ on the world to change.＂
Must＇ve blocked the whole game out
All that I could think about was.
＂Make a law where Daddy＇s don＇t work late
Keep Uncle Joe an＇ those soldiers safe
Give those kids on TV all they want to eat
Put a stop to bullies on the bus
No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs
Give a blanket and a job to people on the street.＂
An＇ I thought: ＂Man, ain＇t that a place I＇d like to live in.＂
And I thank God for that boy that＇s out there fixin＇
The world with his petition...
