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: Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye 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 Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye 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 Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye Everything's gonna be all right Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
