Dandelion

Dandelion

(album: To Dream Beneath The Scorpion - 2023)

I grew up with nowhere to run
It was either join and face the gun
Or wash windows and get drunk
'Cause college was for the rich to fill
And dreams are bought by a father's will
My friends deployed and my brothers, too

And those who stayed had fading eyes
Dreams became 'I changed my mind'
And DUIs replaced 'I'll stay the night'
And me, I strayed
'Cause Fairfield's not LA
The only shot you get's cheap whiskey
Or what you stole that day

So I would pray
That something I wrote
Would take me somewhere far away from all I know
And every day
I'd ask alone
Why do you keep trying to fly when you're the stone?

I guess I'm blinded
By my faith
Down any road
Sunshine or rain
That I'm the dandelion
And this my escape
Until the light inside my eye goes grey
My wind blows one way

It's been twenty years since since my first song
That's twenty years of you 'don't belong'
That's twenty years of 'why you taking so long?'
And they told me quit, and you bet I tried
But not to write felt like the lie
So here I am passed 29

That's why, yeah
Anytime I sing I bleed
I've gotta give this all of me
'Cause something inside won't let me leave it
I've tried, yeah
To find another way to go
To find a more common road
But part of me just can't stop believing

I guess I'm blinded
By my faith
Down any road
Sunshine or rain
That I'm the dandelion
And this my escape
Until the light inside my eye goes grey
My wind blows one way

My wind blows one way
