Wound up with a band of thieves, makin' my way across town Lost in a matter of speech, makin' my way across town What about the good life that I've been expectin' for so long What about the good life Hush-a-bye, my lonely little child, don't you cry Mama's gonna bring you something, gonna get you high Never you mind how I came here I just knew someone was lame here Hush-a-bye So long I've carried this load, feel like I've never been born So long I've traveled this road, feel like I'm weary, I'm worn What about the good life that I've been expectin' for so long What about the good life Hush-a-bye Hush-a-bye, my lonesome child, now don't you cry Mama's gonna bring you something, gonna get you high Never you mind how I came here I just knew someone was lame here Hush-a-bye So long I've carried this load, feel like I've never been born So long I've traveled this road, feel like I'm weary, I'm worn What about the good times
