[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace

[Chorus 1]
And when that evening sun goes down
Drive me into your hometown
Let me buy your friends a round
Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Let me drink water from your well
Tell me a story that you'd like to tell
I think you'll find that I listen well
Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace
[Verse 4]
When you've had all of me that you can take
Say so long with a strong handshake
Don't get to drinking and ask me to stay
Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace

[Chorus 2]
And when that evening sun goes down
Drive me into your hometown
I'll catch that next truck outward-bound
Gimme peace, gimme peace, gimme peace
