My Petition

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

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

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

I wondered[00:00:27]

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

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

Was a[00:00:37]

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

Some kid[00:00:40]

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

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

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

But I[00:00:53]

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

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

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

An' your name[00:01:07]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I kept readin'[00:01:41]

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

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

With a list[00:01:51]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An' I thought[00:03:35]

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

And I thank God[00:03:42]

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

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