Me and my guitar player Mike had just finished recording this song about "my son to be" Colt,when my daughter Jaime comes out to the Studio and tells me Michelle's water had just broke.. I drove her to Marshall Hospital in Placerville and some hours later here he comes out of shute number one..

"ROCKIN COLT"

(Verse 1)

Well the hand rocks the cradle
And the cradle she rocks
Little boy dreams
While the clock ticks and tocks
The sheep he was countin
Now gather in flocks
As the hand rocks the cradle
And the cradle she rocks

(Chorus)

ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY HE SLEEPS
ROCK-A-BYE ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOYS IN DEEP
DEEP UNDER FROM THE NUMBER
OF MISCOUNTED SHEEP
ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY...HE SLEEPS

(VERSE 2)

The hand pushes the stroller
And the stroller she rolls
Little boy screams
Cause his stroll is too slow
He likes to go cruisin
And ridin real low
As the hand pushes the stroller
And the stroller she rolls

(Chorus)

ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY HE SLEEPS
ROCK-A-BYE ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOYS IN DEEP
DEEP UNDER FROM THE NUMBER
OF MISCOUNTED SHEEP
ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY...HE SLEEPS

(INSTRUMENTAL)

(REPEAT Verse 1)

Well the hand rocks the cradle
And the cradle she rocks
Little boy dreams
While the clock ticks and tocks
The sheep he was countin
Now gather in flocks
As the hand rocks the cradle
And the cradle she rocks

(Chorus)

ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY HE SLEEPS
ROCK-A-BYE ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOYS IN DEEP
DEEP UNDER FROM THE NUMBER
OF MISCOUNTED SHEEP
ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY...HE SLEEPS

ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY HE SLEEPS
ROCK-A-BYE ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOYS IN DEEP
DEEP UNDER FROM THE NUMBER
OF MISCOUNTED SHEEP
ROCK-A-BYE,ROCK-A-BYE
BABY BOY...HE SLEEPS
