I've Got Mine Lyrics


Someone's sleeping on the sidewalk
As the winter sun goes down
Someone's drinking cold champagne
In another part of townAnd the only thing he thinks about
As he sips his glass of wine
"It sure feels good sitting here tonight
Now that I've got mine"I've got mine, I've got mine
This isn't such a bitter world
'Cause I've got mineSomeone's wandering the streets tonight
No way to warm his hands
Someone's turning up their fireplace
Making travel plansHis mind is on some sandy beach
Where the sun is gonna shine
He thinks, "I don't have to hang around
Now that I've got mine"You see them in their limousines
You see the way they stare
But they don't see us looking back
Because they don't really careThey say, "I've got mine, I've got mine

The world is as it's meant to be
'Cause I've got mine"So I make a small donation
What more can I do?
You know I didn't make this world
I'm in it just like youI've worked all my life on this house of cards
To keep it all in line
I can't take care of everyone
Now that I've got mineThere's another kind of poverty
That only rich men know
A moral malnutrition
That starves their very soulsAnd they can't be saved by money
They're all running out of time
And all the while they're thinkin'
"It's okay 'cause I've got mine"I've got mine, I've got mine
I don't want a thing to change
'Cause I've got mineI've got mine, I've got mine

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Pink Anderson (full name Pinkney Anderson, February 12, 1900–October 12, 1974) was a blues singer and guitarist, born in Laurens, South Carolina. After being raised in Spartanburg SC, he joined Dr. Kerr of the Indian Remedy Company in 1914 to sing and dance for crowds while Kerr peddled his patent medicine. In 1916, Anderson met Simmie Dooley in Spartanburg, from whom Pink learned to be a blues singer. When Anderson was not travelling with Dr. Kerr, he and Dooley would play small gatherings in Spartanburg and neighboring communities.
