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