Dear IvanJimmy DeanBig Bad John - The Early Hits

His Truth is marching on
To Ivan KovanovichUSSR
Dear Ivan
You don't know meAnd I don't know you
But I sure wouldLike to meet you
Yes sirI'd like to walk upAnd shake your hand andLook you straight in the eyeAnd tell you that I haven't gotOne thing in this world against you
I know that theHeads of our governmentSeem to have problems gettin'Together to talk things over
But I got a feeling if you and ICould just sit down and talkNot as representatives ofAnybody's government but just
Two plain ordinary human beings
I feel that we might thinkA great deal alike
I'm an开发者_如何学Go entertainer nowIvan
I used to be a farmer just like you
I got a wife and three kids
And this may sound aLittle unpatrioticbut to me
These are more important thanThe heads of anybody's government
A few years backYou and I both left the farmAnd we put on a uniform
And we were on the same sideOf the fenceyou and meIvan
And you knowI can't helpBut believe that we're stillOn the same side of the fenceThat we would both like to seeA world united in peace
I'll tell you someIvan
I love my land very much
Ohwe got some of thePrettiest mountains and treesAnd rivers and valleysThat you've ever laid eyes on
And I'm sure that you feel theSame way about your country
And I know that neither one of usWould like to see the face ofOur countries blackened withThe hot breath of anybody's bomb
You knowthey tell me thatOver thereyou don't believe in a God
But though I've never met cha
I can't help but believe thatA man who's stood on aCrisp fall morning and watchedThe sun rise over his farmland orHe's planted a small grain of cornAnd seen it grow out of the fertile soil
Or better than thatIvan
Held your own baby in your arms
I know that you know that there'sA God up there watching overEach and every one of us
Ivanwhen I put myBabies to bed tonight
I'm gonna say a prayerFor you and yours
And if you in your own wayWill say a prayer for me and mineAnd maybe we can talk ourNeighbors into doing the same thing
This will be more powerfulThan any conference held overAny conference table anywhereIn the whole wide world
And then maybe we canLive as God intended
Peacefullytogether
Yours truly
