I Got Everything Songtext

von Mary McBride

I got diamonds in my hand from a quarry upstate
Billboard out the window never seems to fade
Catwalk floating high above the steam
Friends who ain't afraid to tell me what they mean

I got everything / I got everything
I got everything, everything but you

Kids with finger steeples giggle on the stoop
Summer double dutch, spinning hula hoops
Diner on the corner where they know my name
A strong cup of coffee on an ice cold day

Looking at the world, eyes on a tilt
It all came down, everything we built
This time it's over, I'm empty and blue
I got everything but you

On the corner after midnight praying for rain
Message on that napkin did a number on my brain
Storefront crystal reader with a toothless grin
Says hold your head high, don't give in
