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 and cher

Now, she feels safe
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
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

But, everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Rockabye

I told her I ain't so sureabout this place
It's hard to play a gig in this town
And keep a straight face
Seems like everyone here'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's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye
Everything's gonna be all right
Rockabye, rockabye, rockabye, bye, bye
Bye, bye
-"Lullabye", Shawn Mullins

Right, so, freshman year? This song played on the radio every time something awful happened, or everytime I was worried about something. Well, every time it really was alright in the end...for a few situations, the only song I heard was "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon, and that just made me flinch, but for the rest, it was like some sort of freakish psychic anomally. (Like, the second day of school, when I hadn't written my essay for geometry. Heard the song on the ride to school, finished the essay in orchestra, got a hundred. Or when the debacle with Mark happened- heard the song, was blessed with having only one person mention it to me in school, and even that was the day after I found out, and in the end, it was alright- sort of. *sweatdrop*) So, of course once I actually download it, i stop hearing it all the time on the radio, and I guess that means I've broken whatever special thing that was going on with it, but hells, it still makes me feel better. A good song to listen to when you're down, really. And I like Shawn Mullins' voice. It's a good voice. Gravelly. Like a driveway.

*blinkblink* Oh, nevermind. :)
