Lyrics

Acoustic demo (ver. 1)

I know you want me
I know you need me
You throw a tantrum
When you can't see me
But there's a bushel of problems
We can't solve 'em
'Cause we are drowning
In our old ways
Old ways, old ways

I've got to let you go
You've got to give me time
You've got to give you yours
And I've got to get me mine
Breathe in a brand new day
Knowing the sun will shine
You've got to get you yours
And I've got to get me mine

We can't continue
In this old fashion
You think we're flying
But I know we're crashing
I'm bound to teach you a lesson
That you've been missing
Taking me for granted
Now you understand it
Understand it, understand it

I've got to let you go
You've got to give me time
You've got to give you yours
And I've got to get me mine
Breathe in a brand new day
Knowing the sun will shine
You've got to get you yours
I've got to get me

I've let you badger me for far too long
The time has come for me to move along
Move along, move along

I've got to let you go
You've got to give me time
You've got to give you yours
I've got to get me mine
Breathe in a brand new day
Knowing the sun will shine
You've got to get you yours
And I've got to get me mine

I've got to get me mine

Acoustic demo (ver. 2)

Stop your complaining
You're driving me crazy
I gave you so much
But you're just so lazy
I am the hottest around here
Brandy and a cheap beer
I can do much better
With a change of weather

I've got to get me mine
I've got to help myself
I've got to say goodbye
Don't need nobody else
I've got to get me mine
I've got to help myself
I've got to say goodbye
Don't need nobody else

You wish you'd never
Took me for granted
No one can rock you
As much as I can
I am one of a kind
I'm leaving you behind
You gave me third class
Now I'm up in first class

I've got to get me mine
I've got to help myself
I've got to say goodbye
Don't need nobody else
I've got to get me mine
I've got to help myself
I've got to say goodbye
Don't need nobody else

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

I've got to get me mine
I've got to help myself
I've got to say goodbye
Don't need nobody else
I've got to get me mine
I've got to help myself
I've got to say goodbye
Don't need nobody else

Electric demo

Stop your complaining
You're driving me crazy
I gave you so much
But you're just so lazy
I am the hottest around here
Brandy and a cheap beer
I can do much better
With a change of weather

I've got to get me mine
You've got to get you yours
We've got to go our ways
Chart out a brand new course
I've got to get me mine
You've got to to ride your horse
I've got to take some time
You've got to get you yours
And I've got to get me mine

You wish you'd never
Took me for granted
No one can rock you
As much as I can
I am one of a kind
I'm leaving you behind
You gave me third class
Now I'm up in first class

I've got to get me mine
You've got to get you yours
We've got to go our ways
Chart out a brand new course
I've got to get me mine
You've got to to ride your horse
I've got to take some time
You've got to get you yours
And I've got to get me mine

Don't misunderstand me
Don't misapprehend me
I know that you're hurting
This is what we both need

I've got to get me mine
You've got to get you yours
We've got to go our ways
Chart out a brand new course
I've got to get me mine
You've got to to ride your horse
I've got to take some time
You've got to get you yours
And I've got to get me mine
