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 [ piano ] 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
