Lullaby (Acoustic Version)

Lay your weary head down

And dry your tired eyes

Lay your weary head down

And rockabye

*sick guitar*

Well she grew up with the children of the stars

In the Hollywood hills and the boulevards

And her parents threw big parties, and everyone was there

They hung out with folks like Dennis Hopper and Bob Seger and Sonny and Cher

But 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 all right

Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

Everything's gonna be all right

Why don’t you rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

*more sick guitar*

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 smiled once in a while

But you know, even her smile, it looks just like a frown

Cause she's seen her share of devils in this angel town

And everything's gonna be all right

Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

Everything's gonna be all right

Why don’t you rock-a-bye, hey, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

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 kind of like Nashville with a tan

Everything's gonna be all right

Rock-a-bye

I said everything's gonna be all right

Why don’t you rock-a-bye, hey, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

And then everything's gonna be all right

Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, yeah

Everything, yeah everything

Why don’t you rock-a-bye

Said rock-a-bye

He said, he said bye-bye

He said, bye-bye
