Bluesman's Lullaby from Wilmington Optimist by Danny and the Darlings

I was a bad guy for awhile
With a mustache like Black Bart
I kicked over motorcycles
And I’d break innocent hearts

My only motivation
Was to be a greasy thug
I didn’t care bout nothing
And I also cared too much

Was it as simple as addiction?
Or some other affliction
Of my personality?
What the fuck is wrong with me?

Is it a blessing or a curse
To feel so much that it hurts?
And they say “This too shall pass”
But I think that I’m the Naz
That’s a dangerous line of thought
And then I got caught

She’s making me a grilled cheese sandwich
And singing me the Bluesman’s Lullaby
I swear I get better every day I’m with her
And if not, well at least I’m gonna try

If I had a prayer, she’d be the answer
She’s reading from “The Catcher in the Rye”
I swear I get better every day I’m with her
And if not, well at least I’m gonna try
