Week 27c - Me First (210705)

from Song A Week, Volume 6 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Outta’ my way I used to say
Nobody better pass me up
Runnin’ so fast scared of comin’ in last
Or never gettin’ enough

Me first used to sound so lonely
Me first until I healed my hurt
Couldn't help nobody as the old me
I gotta’ fix me first

Well I got loud to shout it out
And show ‘em all how it’s done
The city I reached with what I had to teach
Me Town population one

Me first used to sound so lonely
Me first until I healed my hurt
Couldn't help nobody as the old me
I gotta’ fix me first

So here's a challenge from me to you
Next time you're at the grocery store
Scout out the longest line then step behind
Bet you never tried that before
