歌曲歌詞
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
