Shawn
Mullins , Lullaby
She grew up with
the children of the stars
In the Hollywood Hills and the boulevard
Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there
They hung out with folks like
Dennis Hopper, Bob Seger, and Sonny and Cher
Now, she feels safe in this bar on Fairfax
And from the stage I can tell that
She can't let go and she can't relax
And just before she hangs her head to cry
I sing to her a lullaby
I sing
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, Rockabye
Rockabye
She still lives with her mom outside the city
Down that street about a half a mile
And all her friends tell her she's so pretty
But she'd be a whole lot prettier
If she smiled once in a while
'Cause even her smile looks like a frown
And she's seen her share of devils in this angel town
(Repeat chorus)
(Instrumental)
I told her, "I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face"
Seems like everyone here's got a plan
It's kind of like nashville with a tan
(Repeat chorus
twice)
home
