Wino's Lullaby Lyrics - Edwin Mccain

WINO'S LULLABY - - - EDWIN McCAIN 

Well I poured myself from this lonely bottle 

My clown shoes got hung in the neck 

And I dangled there in amazement 

At the man who can't pay the check 

Tried to trace my staggering footsteps 

As they wander side-by-side 

And I'm walking along to the melody 

Of the wino's lullaby 

Wino's lullaby, wino's lullaby, 

Wino's lullaby, wino's lullaby 

The path I follow, it wanders 

Through laughter and liquor and song 

The beautiful shows, the highs and lows 

The time always seems too long 

Boys and girls are all falling in love 

And soaring to dizzying heights 

The breakdowns, the shakedowns, 

The setups, the knockdowns 

Early morning under the lights 

Music is my lover 

My killer and my surprise 

I'm playing along to the melody 

Of the wino's lullaby 

Chorus 

Well I drag myself from the madness 

And follow my heart back home 

This woman's she's been waiting 

And feeling awfully alone 

We suffer here in the silence 

As she is starting to cry 

I'm falling asleep to the melody 

Of the wino's lullaby 

Chorus
