Travis will enjoy this, Loving this song scott.

Great classic balladeering & storytelling . Has a minuet feel. Nice

I always find the most personal struggles the hardest to unravel in song But it helps

great tune my man. Excellent guitar work and those vocal harmony sections swell like a gospel choir.


He was just looking for his salvation, and they all came, extending a hand. 
We can get you on track, nothing holding you back. Just listen to the plan. 
With options so many, he wondered, is what they’re telling me real? 
They all gave the steps to take my life back, but nobody asks how I feel.
He rejects everything this world expects.

There were times that the world was all rosy, no one can say where or when.
But sometimes it fell and it all went to hell, fighting those demons within. 
And so he avoided decisions. Anything’s fine, I don’t care. 
From the outside it sure looked like he tried, but inside the clouds were still there. 
He rejects everything this world expects.

Dreams, they say, are a window to the soul
A map to where you’ve been.
When the dreams just take off and leave a hole,
Sometimes you just fall in. 

So the lesson to learn, if there is one, is that life is complex, and it knows,
You can plan and predict, control and restrict, label and put into rows. 
But all stories are not happy endings, if yours are, rejoice it made sense.
When your story is shared, relived and compared, not all will take offense.
He rejects everything this world expects.


Expectations (For Travis)

Retired the beginning of 2023. Been writing music seriously for about six years. Thanks for listening - and sharing!
