Amos Lee Lullaby song lyrics

I followed her down by the railroad tracks

waited until she couldn't turn back

her clothes in a pile and her blood in a stream

yeah a lullabye don't always turn to a dream

Took both her kids and put em in the garage

and took off in her car and became a mirage

out in the desert where the air is clean

and a lullabye don't always turn to a dream

An innocent man might take the blame

I'll shave my head, and change my name

Out in the desert it's as still as death

it's as if mother nature mother nature was holding her breath

the coyotes howl and the vultures scream

and a lullabye don't always turn to a dream

I guess it started when i was a teen

and my parents will never know their little boy is such a fiend

i guess sometimes it works out, but you never know what it means

cause a lullabye don't always turn to a dream

now, a lullabye don't always turn to a dream
