Dan Bern - Albuquerque Lullaby(44 visits)

I have a friend

Sits in his office

Where he's had his big success

Now he cries all day

He says the Internet

Is stealing his royalties

Talks of his glory days

I say no one cares about your glory days

Backroads New Mexico

There's an old abandoned church

Windows boarded up

Never sees a coat of paint

Sometimes I drive by and dream

Of hearing the preacher preach

But it's a dragstrip for the kids

You can hear their tires screech

Don't let your heart

Get broken by this world

Don't let your heart

Get broken

At the bottom of the ocean

You might find a pearl

Don't let your heart

Get broken by this world

Drop by Albuquerque sometime

When you need to

I'll sing you an Albuquerque Lullaby. . . .

So baby when I close my eyes

You know it's you I see

You know I'm pulling for you

As you go on your way

Don't ever hesitate

To say what's goin' on

Ain't nothin black and white

Always some new place to turn

Don't let your heart

Get broken by this world.
