Gimme Mine - Mark Heard/Sam Phillips

Ever since I was a young boy

I wondered what to be

Watching all the grownups

Shaking on the money tree

You know that everybody's got their places

Everyone fits just fine

All except me Lord

Now when you gonna gimme mine

All across the nation

Everywhere people do their things

Pulling their hair

Pushing on buttons

And pulling on different strings

You know that everybody's got their places

Everyone fits just fine

All except me Lord

Now when You gonna gimme mine

Now when you gonna gimme importance

When you gonna gimme wealth

When you gonna make me like everybody else

I got to get me a high position

Got to get me a Cadillac

Got to get me a raise I got to

Get me a heart attack

You know that

Everybody's got their places

Everyone fits just fine

All except me Lord

Now when you gonna gimme mine

Oooh working at the Neiman Marcus

Working at the five and dime

Got to have the money gonna

Make it in the nick of time

You know that

You know that everybody's got their places

Everyone fits just fine

All except me Lord

Now when you gonna gimme mine

Gimme mine

Gimme mine

Gimme mine

Gimme mine

Gimme mine

Gimme mine

Now he gimme mine

Mine

Gimme

Oh gimme

Oh gimme

Oh gimme mine
