Lullaby - Shawn Mullins

Lay your weary head down
Dry your tired eyes
Lay your weary head down
And rockabye
Well, she grew up with the children of the stars
In the Hollywood hills and the boulevards
Her parents threw big parties, everyone was there
They hung out with folks like Dennis
Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher
She feels safe now 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 alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye"
Well, 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'd smile once in a while
But you know, even her smile, it looks just like a frown
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town
And everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Why don't you rockabye, rockabye, rockabye
I told her, I said, "I ain't so sure about this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town and keep a straight face
It seems like everybody's got a plan
It's kinda like Nashville with a tan"
But everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Why don't you rockabye, hey, rockabye
Everything's gonna be alright
Rockabye, rockabye, hey
Everything's gonna be alright
Why don't you rockabye, rockabye
Lay your weary head down
Dry your tired eyes
Lay your weary head down
And rockabye
Why don't you rockabye
Say, bye-bye
Bye-bye
