LOTN

This one is LOTN because it's Lyrics of the Night, and apropos to that, this is Shawn Mullins, Lullabye. Good night, sleep tight, don't let those bedbugs (yuck!) bite.

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 & Cher

Now, 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 is gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything is 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
She's seen her share of devils in this angel town

Everything is gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything is 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 right
Rockabye, rockabye

Everything is gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything is gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye

Everything is gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye
bye, bye
Bye, bye
