LULLABY by Shawn Mullins

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 Seeger, Sonny and CherNow, she feels safe
In this bare 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 cryI sing to her a lullaby, I sing

Everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, 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

She's seen her share of devils
In this angel town
But, everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
rockabye, rockabye, rockabye

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 everybody's got a plan
It's kind of like Nashville with a tan, but
Everything's gonna be all right rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all rightrockabye, rockabye
rockabyebye, byebye, bye


*Finally! The lyrics i so love. This is my mantra.
