Lullaby- Shawn Mullins

"She'd be a whole lot prettier if she smiled once in a while"

My mom's surgery went very well, thankfully.  She is doing pretty awesome, a lot better than I did when I had a similar surgery.  She is sleeping a lot. That's the easy part.  Tomorrow is probably not going to be the best though.  Lots of hard steps in recovery.  Well I should get my rest.

This song reminds me of childhood.  It came out when I was pretty young.  But, it is what it says it is, a soothing lullaby.  Love how he kind of talks the verses. 

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, and Sonny and Cher
But she feels safe now in the 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

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's gonna be all right
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
bye, bye
