Lullaby
by
Shawn Mullins
She grew up with the children of the stars
in the Hollywood Hills and the Boulevard
Her parent threw big parties
everyone was there
They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper, Bob Seager and Sonny and Cher.
She feels safe now in this bar on Fairfax
I can tell from the stage that she can't let go And she can't relax
Just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing her this lullaby
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
She still lives with her Mom outside the city
Down the street about half a mile
All her friends tell her she is so pretty
She'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while
Even her smile looks like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this Angel town.
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
I told her "I ain't so sure about this town?"
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
It seems like everyone's got a plan
It's kinda like Nashville with a tan.
Everythings's gonna be alright
Everythings's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye
Rockabye
Bye
Bye
A favorite song of mine.
