What About Me

You know I'm out here searching Lord I'm trying To find a meaning of this life think I'm strong enough to last the journey Late at night I hear the cry's What about me And the baby in the Bayou What about me The catcher in the rye What about she with that short skirt Standing on the red dirt she's just trying to get by She just trying to survive Now all these charlatans divide the people We are all the same in so many ways all we're trying to Do is raise the children with some dignity and grace What about me And the baby in the Bayou What about me The catcher in the rye What about she with that short skirt standing on the red dirt She's just trying to get by Yeah She just trying to survive And now that the storm is over It's time to start anew It ain't about me (it ain't about me) It ain't about you It's what we can do together oh in this thing together Yeah I see the children walking hand-in-hand The greatest generation that's ever been Humanity laced with destiny huddled all together Became the sweetest scene You and me laugh and love The best that we could be What about me And the baby in the Bayou What about me The catcher in the rye What about she with that short skirt Law'd Standing on the red dirt She's just trying to get by She's just trying to get by All together we are one she just trying to Survive The odds From the coast of Cali All across the land (what about the babies) All alone All all alone
