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
(chorus)
everything's gonna be all right.
rockabye, rockabye.
everything's 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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
