Paul Summers Jr. - Wayward Potion Blues (2022 Remaster)

These were the first words I heard, I couldn't believe what he said
I became so disturbed, with each new letter that I read
I'll never be one to knock something I ain't at least tried
But if you say that my music can't be sold
Cause it don't fit into your tried and proven mold
You say it's gotta have some certain formula for going gold

It's only a dream I've kept since I was a child
I didn't think it would be that easy but I knew I'd have a place to be wild
These days most of them outbursts are locked down, locked away indoors
'Cause when someone tells you to look a certain way
And says the you that needs to speak has no say
No one's gonna understand the passion in which you need to play

Sorry my mistake, I went ahead and asked you what you thought
I should've told you if you've nothin' good to say, keep it in your gut and let it rot
You'd turn my words around and tell me to be more professional
Can't you see I've got to project what's in my soul
Whether it appeals to my Mom or Hollywood Bowl
Living with myself is my goal, that's what makes me whole

I try to run away but all my bills pile up and call me to come back
Every time I get my motor runnin, you get yer kicks by tellin' me what I lack
Fortunately, I'm from a world you could never break
In your eyes I may always be poor
Yeah but I ain't out to even up every score
My identity that you may choose to ignore, I'll always adore
