《My Petition》歌词

[00:00:00] My Petition - Kenny Rogers

[00:00:20] I just sat down to watch the game

[00:00:24] When I heard the doorbell ring

[00:00:27] I wondered

[00:00:28] Who in the world it could be

[00:00:33] Through the people all that I saw there

[00:00:37] Was a

[00:00:37] Crooked cap on curly hair

[00:00:40] Some kid

[00:00:42] Squintin' back at me

[00:00:46] I said if you're sellin' somethin'

[00:00:50] Well I ain't buyin' nothin'

[00:00:53] But I

[00:00:55] Appreciate you stoppin' by

[00:01:00] Said I ain't askin' for a dime

[00:01:04] Just a minute of your time

[00:01:07] An' your name

[00:01:09] Here on the dotted line

[00:01:12] Could you sign my petition

[00:01:21] Had a spiral notebook in his hand

[00:01:25] Handed me a chewed up pen

[00:01:27] An' I ask you

[00:01:29] What am I signin' up for

[00:01:34] I scrolled down that wrinkled page

[00:01:38] Saw a couple of neighbors names

[00:01:41] I kept readin'

[00:01:43] Then I sat down on the porch

[00:01:48] It was a letter to the president

[00:01:51] With a list

[00:01:52] That numbered one to ten

[00:01:54] It said make a law where daddy's don't work late

[00:01:59] Keep uncle joe an' those soldiers safe

[00:02:02] Give those kids on tv

[00:02:05] All they want to eat

[00:02:09] Put a stop to bullies on the bus

[00:02:12] No crime no waits no hate no drugs

[00:02:16] Give a jacket and a job

[00:02:18] To people on the street

[00:02:21] I said son sounds like a world I'd like to live in

[00:02:26] And I signed his petition

[00:02:36] He thanked me for my time

[00:02:39] I headed back inside grabbed my beer

[00:02:44] An' got back to the game

[00:02:49] Thought by now that boy he's three doors down

[00:02:53] Here I am just sittin' round

[00:02:57] Waitin' on the world to change

[00:03:03] Must've blocked the whole game out

[00:03:06] All that I could think about was

[00:03:10] Make a law where daddy's don't work late

[00:03:13] Keep uncle joe an' those soldiers safe

[00:03:17] Give those kids on tv

[00:03:19] All they want to eat

[00:03:23] Put a stop to bullies on the bus

[00:03:26] No crime no waits no hate no drugs

[00:03:30] Give a blanket and a job

[00:03:33] To people on the street

[00:03:35] An' I thought

[00:03:36] Man ain't that a place I'd like to live in

[00:03:42] And I thank God

[00:03:44] For that boy that's out there fixin'

[00:03:48] The world with his petition
