this song is a huge guilty pleasure of mine
Now she feels safe in the bar on fairfax And from the stage I can tell that She cant let go and she cant relax And just before She hangs here head to cry I sing to her a lullaby, I sing Everythings gonna be all right

I kind of misremembered this song for a few years as being a really garden variety sleepy ballad with no ridiculous spoken verses, and then heard it again recently and was like oh yeah, now I remember why this song is a legendary piece of shit.

In 2006, Shawn put out a new single, entitled "Beautiful Wreck", from the album 9th Ward Pickin Parlor. The single enjoyed modest success, and was featured in the popular Cities 97 Cities Sampler, Volume 18.

by matchstick 21 on 03-06-2003 @ 04:37:23 AM The "Nashville with a tan", I believe, is the writer stating how he sees people in Nashville and California (where the song is set, Fairfax and Hollywood are both in California) are both the kind of people with a plan. California is known for alot of tan "surfer dudes". Therefore, this place in California is like Nashville, except they are all tan.

is this that "rock-a-bye" song? this guy has committed a worse musical atrocity than soulja boy

Glad to know the proper name of this song because it is my least favorite song.
Very hard to write a good L.A.-truthteller song. I mean, David + David, Don Henley dozens of time...
John Stewart's "Gold" is still the gold standard.

My dad really liked this and my mom made fun of him for it, she did great voice-cracking impressions of the "eveRYYYYthing."
Closer to Mr. Mullins's time, "Screenwriter's Blues" and "Drinking in LA" are both pretty good, certainly better than "Lullaby."

I got an unplanned treat when I caught Shawn Mullins play this tune live at the Hard Rock Cafe in the Beverly Center once when I stopped off for a burger. I was by myself.
