In the tiny hours of the mornin'
When the shadows lie awake
There you'll
A worried mind
And a heart that's afraid to break
In a pawn shop on Lamar
I spy my old guitar,
And I stop just long enough to watch it shine.
But all the money's spent.
On pawn shops, dope, rent,
Will never be enough to change your mind.
Sleep tonight my darlin'.
You know that I'll be nearby.
Close your eyes, and I'll sing for you,
It's a South Austin lullaby.
Now when my time is come
I know that my days are done.
I'll fade away so gently through that night.
You can see my eyes
In the Hill Country skies
And the stars that shine crazy bright.
Sleep tonight my darlin';
You know that I'll be nearby.
Close your eyes and I'll sing for you
A South Austin lullaby.
Close your eyes and I'll sing for you
A South Austin lullaby.
When the shadows lie awake
There you'll
A worried mind
And a heart that's afraid to break
In a pawn shop on Lamar
I spy my old guitar,
And I stop just long enough to watch it shine.

On pawn shops, dope, rent,
Will never be enough to change your mind.

And the stars that shine crazy bright.
Sleep tonight my darlin';
You know that I'll be nearby.
Close your eyes and I'll sing for you
A South Austin lullaby.
Close your eyes and I'll sing for you
A South Austin lullaby.
