Jenrose and the Kentucky Bootleggers: Music

I wrote this for my girl named Henry when she told me she was pregnant, and leaving Kentucky. I went to visit her in Los Angeles the week before she delivered. When I came home, I finished the song. I understood that if anyone needs a lullaby, it is the mother…

[Anchorage Revisited]

Well Henry she wrote me a letter
Said Hey girl, I hope you’re sittin’ down
You can’t believe how fast the weather changes
She said It hit me like a hurricane
You know, like when you can’t get out of the rain
And all I really know right now is
the world is never gonna look the same again (and it’s)

Chorus:
Rock rock rock, rockabye
Hush now baby, don’t you cry
Just keep on rockin’ girl…

So she packed up her things in Kentucky
And headed on out to the Hollywood Hills
Now she’s got a good view of the Hollywood sign
I said How does it feel?
She said I guess I’m doin’ alright…
If only I could get some sleep…
You know I could really use a lullaby tonight

Chorus

Got a call from Henry
I said Are you doin’ alright?
She said Well I’ve got this brand new sweet baby boy at my side
She said I’m not gonna lie, sometimes he really makes me cry
But he’s my little guy and there’s nothin’ like the feelin’
When I’m rockin’ him to sleep at night…

Chorus

(Jenrose Fitzgerald 2000)
