Texas Lyrics


Gonna get what's mine and wild horses couldn't keep it from me.
Papa says I'm a golden child and the whole world's gonna fall at my feet.
It's all coming to me.Going down picking when it's harvest time,
gonna get my share, gonna get what's mine for me.
Sun is a-blazing down but I don't mind;
I'm picking, I'm digging, it's harvest time for me.
When I get my little eye on it,
when I get my little mind on it, you best believe.Ole sweet tooth aching in my head,
gonna fill my belly to the brim, oh yes indeed!
Hive is a-buzzing in a hollow tree
and I don't care if I gotta kill a little honeybee.When I get my little eye on it,
when I get my little mind on it, you best believe.
Oh my, it's all coming to me.Gonna get what's mine and wild horses couldn't keep it from me.
Papa says I'm a golden child and the whole world is gonna fall at my feet.
It's all coming to me.Pumpin' and a-suckin' till the well is dry,
nobody's booming in these busted times like me.
Down in Texas where the cattle don't roam
oil is a-dripping and the savings and loans, they bleed.When I get my little eye on it,

when I get my little mind on it, you best believe.
Oh my, it's all coming to me.Papa came along and he shook the tree;
down came a bushel and a peck for me.
Papa shooed away all the honeybees.
Papa dug a well and it flowed for me.
Papa caught the mother-lode fish for me.
Papa set a fire and it burned for me.
Papa put a skillet in the flame to fry;
Papa filled this little silver spoon of mine.
Papa said the Lord took a shine to me.
Papa said I gotta set the whole world free.
Papa said how it's gonna be

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
