Dan Bern - Albuquerque Lullaby lyrics

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 them 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 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 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 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 Don't let your heart Get broken by this world Don't let your heart Get broken by this world
