Southside Lullaby

I can hear the howling of that train Sirens behind sing lonesome harmony Clacking tracks complete the whole refrain While the cloudy moon keeps shining down on me All the reasons I had are all gone But the alley never quite forgets my past You only get so many chances to be wrong Before your brain decides it's always going to last Lay me down and try and get some sleep Cause right now I got no promises to keep Wake me up, I'm right next to my dream I'm just a guy singing a southside lullaby I spent years just waiting on your kiss Almost as long spent patching up my heart Sweet temptation was too hard to resist But you let me in cause I had come so far Lay me down and try and get some sleep Cause right now I got no promises to keep Wake me up, I'm right next to my dream I'm just a guy singing a southside lullaby The curb is full of trashcans and the porch lights are all on Someone stole the stop sign down the way And me, I'm here sitting, trying to live another day So I'll pray that everything works out I'll ask forgiveness for every mistake But you should never have any doubt That it was you who has shown me the way Lay me down and try and get some sleep Cause right now I got no promises to keep Wake me up, I'm right next to my dream I'm just a guy singing a southside lullaby
