Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
When we get to Tucson, you'll see why
We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain
For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again
[Chorus]
What's important in this world
A little boy, a little girl
[Verse 2]
Hush, little darlin', go to sleep
Look out the window and count the sheep
That dot the hillsides in the fields of wheat
Across America as we cross America
[Chorus]
What's important here today
The broken line on the highway
[Bridge]
All the love in the world for you, girl
Thumbelina, in a great big scary world
All the love in the world for you, girl
Take my hand and we'll make it through this world
[Verse 3]
Hush, little baby, my poor little thing
You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring
It must seem strange, love was here, then gone
And the Oklahoma sunrise becomes the Amarillo dawn
[Chorus]
What's important in this life
Ask the man who's lost his wife
