Words that touch and move the heart and soul. As true as the voice that guides them through the notes.

"Looking back it's now so clear
How the road beneath my restless feet
Had a reason it brought me here
Often obscure and bittersweet"

WAITING TO LIVE
If only you could get good grades
Get a car, maybe get laid
If only you could get a good job
If only you believed in God
Bleeding quietly inside
Dyin’ to enjoy the ride
Taken for a sad-sucker
More downers than there’s uppers

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
This world by design devours you

The truth, can’t make heads or tails
No wind enters your sails
Empty bed for an easy-chair
And the weather is never fair
Bleeding quietly inside
Wishin’ to step off the ride
Taken for a sad-sucker
Singin’ for so little supper

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
This world by design devours you

Whoa-whoa, Whoa-whoa

Golden years is a mockery
Sweat on your brow a travesty
Your own face you don’t recognize
Your heart and soul pulverized
Bleeding quietly inside
Ridin’, you’re just ridin’ the tide
Taken for a sad-sucker
Can’t blame it on your dead mother

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
This world by design devours you

Whoa-whoa, Whoa-whoa

If only you could get good grades
Get a car, maybe get laid
If only you could get a good job
If only you believed in God
Bleeding quietly inside
Dyin’ to enjoy the ride
So says the sad trucker
This life is a, a mother-f*cker

CHORUS
Waiting, waiting to live
Given it all you got to give
Your ship is long overdue
But this world by design devours you…devours you, whoa

WAITING TO LIVE

A song that playfully asks the philosophical question: do our pets go to Heaven. If so, is this all pets? Or is there a cuteness filtering process?

Pet Heaven

I know I should’ve seen the signs. They kept on saying, “It’ll turn out fine.
That’s the price you pay, when your resume
Doesn’t really say what’s in your heart.
Nobody else had a clue, none of them told me, or acted like they knew.
It was full-steam ahead, make a living, earn that bread.
Walking through the motions, play the part.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

I thought I was right on track. Full-steam ahead, there’s no going back.
There were ups and downs, but I always found
A place on holy ground that hit the spot.
Just play your role, be a friend, don’t take a chance, and dear God, don’t offend.
There were baby steps, but most the time, they slept,
Never get specific, never hot.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott

Guess you can say I survived. I went into battle, and I came out alive.
And this song I sing doesn’t change a thing.
I’ll be clinging tight to what I’ve got.
Maybe my time’s not yet up. Maybe I still have a drink from that cup.
Gotta keep on tryin’, it’ll turn out fine.
Maybe I have figured out what’s what.
That, my friends, is the legend of Scott
