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
