Expectation Runs

I am an only son

I am an only son

Given an estate

But never shown love

I am an only son

I sold all of my things

I sold all of my things

Traded in my lot

For an unfamiliar dream

I sold all of my things

This ain't the way that it was supposed to be

This ain't the place I conjured up in my dreams

Expectation runs like a river through the trees

And the current has taken me

I broke my father's heart

I broke my father's heart

Heading for the highway

Well, that tore him apart

I broke my father's heart

I've seen my momma cry

I've seen my momma cry

Hurricane tears

But I could not tell you why

I've seen my momma cry

This ain't the way that it was supposed to be

This ain't the place I conjured up in my dreams

Expectation runs like a river through the trees

And the current has taken me

I dream of bluer skies

I dream of bluer skies

Just a field for running

Waiting on the other side

I dream of bluer skies
