Songs Title：my petition

I just sat down to watch the game when I heard the doorbell ring

An＇ I wondered who in the world it could be

Through the peephole, all that I saw there

Was a crooked cap on curly hair an＇ some kid squintin＇ back at me

I said, ＂If you＇re sellin＇ somethin＇, well, I ain＇t buyin＇ nothin＇

But I appreciate you stoppin＇ by.＂

Said: ＂I ain＇t askin＇ for a dime, just a minute of your time

An＇ your name here on the dotted line

Could you sign my petition?＂

Had a spiral notebook in his hand

Handed me a chewed up pen

An＇ I ask you: ＂What am I signin＇ up for.＂

I scrolled down that wrinkled page

Saw a couple of neighbors names

I kept readin＇, then I sat down on the porch

It was a letter to the President

With a list that numbered one to ten.

It said: ＂Make a law where Daddy＇s don＇t work late

Keep Uncle Joe an＇ those soldiers safe

Give those kids on TV all they want to eat

Put a stop to bullies on the bus

No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs

Give a blanket and a job to people on the street.＂

I said: ＂Son, sounds like a world I＇d like to live in.＂

And I signed his petition.

He thanked me for my time

I headed back inside, grabbed my beer

An＇ got back to the game

Thought: ＂By now that boy he＇s three doors down

＂Here I am just sittin＇ round

Waitin＇ on the world to change.＂

Must＇ve blocked the whole game out

All that I could think about was.

＂Make a law where Daddy＇s don＇t work late

Keep Uncle Joe an＇ those soldiers safe

Give those kids on TV all they want to eat

Put a stop to bullies on the bus

No crime, no waits, no hate, no drugs

Give a blanket and a job to people on the street.＂

An＇ I thought: ＂Man, ain＇t that a place I＇d like to live in.＂

And I thank God for that boy that＇s out there fixin＇

The world with his petition...
