Lullaby - Lyrics by Shawn Mullins


Lyrics
she grew up withthe children of the starsin the hollywood hills and the boulevardher parents threw big partieseveryone was therethey hung out with folks likedennis hopper, bob seeger, sonny and chernow, she feels safein this bar on fairfaxand from the stage I can tell thatshe can't let go and she can't relaxand just beforeshe hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby, I singeverything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyeeverything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyerockabyeshe still lives with her momoutside the citydown that street about a half a mileand all her friends tell hershe's so prettybut she'd be a whole lot prettierif she smiled once in a while
`cause even her smilelooks like a frownshe's seen her share of devilsin this angel town
But, everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyeeverything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyerockabye
I told her I ain't so sureabout this placeit's hard to play a gig in this townand keep a straight faceseems like everyone here's got a planit's kind of like nashville with a tan, but,everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyeeverything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyeeverything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabyeeverything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabye,rockabye, bye, byebye, bye
