Give Me Some Peace

I’ve traveled the same roads that you’ve been down
Been to your cities and I’ve been to your towns
Saw the bright lights of Vegas and the dark in L.A.
I got nothin’ new to tell you, I ain’t got nothin’ to say

All that I ask is one simple request
Just give me some peace Lord, give me some rest

There ain’t much difference between you and me
Except you were blind and I can see
Got the best from the worst and the worst from the best
I skipped the class but I passed the test

All that I ask is one simple request
Just give me some peace Lord, give me some rest

Give me peace in the valley and a thrill on the hill
The strength for the good fight, the courage and will
I’ll fight to the finish, I’ll give it my best
Just give me some peace Lord, give me some rest




I soared like an eagle, I cooed like a dove
Fell into trouble and I fell out of love
Fought with my fist and I fought with my tongue
Confronted my fears at the point of a gun

All I ask is one simple request
Just give me some peace Lord, give me some rest

Give me peace in the valley and a thrill on the hill
The strength for the good fight, the courage and will
I’ll fight to the finish, I’ll give it my best
Just give me some peace Lord, give me some rest

Give me some peace Lord, give me some rest
