Shelby Lynne - I'll Hold Your Head Lyrics

Shelby Lynne Lyrics

"I'll Hold Your Head"

Four bald tires on an old Impala
17 degrees, South Alabama
Mama needs money and we're late for school
Pickin' out the parts on a Bob Wills tune
I got a scrambled egg sandwich
In a Folger's can
Daddy says he'll never work for the man

I'll hold your head
I'll ease your mind
I'll sing you a lullaby
Sit here by the fire
Tomorrow's Sunday
Come and rest your soul
Let me be your good book
Story's all been told
I'll hold your head

Yeah, the world's gone crazy, can't save your sin
He shouldn't be driving in the shape he's in
Icy cold water in the Santa Bogue
I hear a Ford pickup on the old dirt road
Mammy's down the hill hullin' peas in a pan
Dandy's got a bucket and a hoe in his hand

I'll hold your head
I'll ease your mind
Let me sing you a lullaby
Sit here by the fire
Tomorrow's Sunday
Come and rest your soul
Let me be your good book
Story's all been told
I'll hold your head

It ain't fair for a youngun' all this hurtin'
Battlin' the blues and the beer and the bourbon
Come on Sissy, let's close the door
Don't want to hear the noise no more

'Cause, I'll hold your head
I'll ease your mind
Let me sing you a lullaby
Sit here by the fire
Tomorrow's Sunday
Come and rest your soul
Let me be your good book
Story's all been told
I'll hold your head

(We ain't got a barrel of money)
I'll ease your mind
(Maybe we're ragged and funny)
Let me sing you a lullaby
(Travelin' along)
Sit here by the fire
(Singin' a song)
Tomorrow's Sunday
(All of our troubles have parted)
Come and rest your soul
(We'll be the same as we started)
I'll be your good book
(Drivin' along)
Story's all been told
(Singin' a song)
I'll hold your head
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
I'll hold your head
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
