Tell It To The World
This is a song about busting out. It's on the Texas Rubies' first self-released album, and on the Texas Rubies' Working Girl Blues (1993).I hope to have tracks from both albums available here soon.

I've been
Hanging in there, I've been doing my time
Working
On a little piece of something to call all mine
It's been
A mighty rocky road, Lord, I had my doubts
When I put my whole heart in it and it didn't work out
And I done a couple things to make me feel ashamed
They've been hanging 'round my neck like a burden of blame
But I don't care now, I've had enough of that
I'm sick to death of worry and I'm through with looking back

'Cause the times gonna come when I tell it to the world
Gonna tell it to the world, let the whole world know
There's a fire inside me and it's ready to blow
I'm ready to burn and I'm raring to go
Gonna tell it to the world, world's gonna know

I know
I'm not perfect, I've been working on that
Seems I'm always
Trying hard to stay on the right track
But there's something
Inside me wants to run like the wind
Like a woman on fire, like it never will end
And I know I'll never be the best show in town
But I can't spend forever just hanging around
Trying to get it right, I've had enough of that
I'm sick to death of worry and I'm through with looking back
