  • 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 Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
