Gimme Piece

(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 rockin' char

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace.



Show me your garden I love to how

Let me walkin' up for the road

I got some seed that I like to sow

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace.



And when that evening sun goes down

Drive me in the old hometown

Let me bye your friends around

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace.



--- Instrumental ---



Let me drink water from your well

Tell me a story that you'd like to tell

I think you fine when I'll listen well

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace.



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

Say so long with a strong handshake

Don't get to drinkin' ask me to stay

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace.



And when that evening sun goes down

Drive me in the old hometown

I'll catch that next truck I could bound

Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace...
