[Verse 1]
Am G F Dm
I followed her down by the railroad tracks
Am G F Dm
Waited until she couldn't turn back
Am G F Dm
Her clothes in a pile and her blood in a stream
Am G F E E7m
Yeah a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Verse 2]
Am G F Dm
Took both her kids and put em in the garage
Am G F E7m F
And I took off in her car and became a mirage
Am G F Dm
Out in the desert where the air is clean
Am G F Em Dm
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
[Bridge]
F D7m Em
An innocent man might take the blame
F G Fm Am G F Dm
I'll shave my head, and change my name
[Verse 3]
Am G F Dm
Out in the desert it's as still as death
Am G F Dm
It's as if mother nature mother nature was holding her breath
Am G F Dm
The coyotes howl and the vultures scream
Am G F Em Dm
And a lullaby don't always turn to a dream

Am G F Dm
I guess it started when I was a teen
Am G F Dm
And my parents will never know their little boy is such a fiend
Am G F Dm
I guess sometimes it works out, but you never know what it means
Am G F Em Dm
Cause a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
F C Dm
Naw, a lullaby don't always turn to a dream
