A lil Cigar box Mandolin eclipse tune on Reeds Taylors awesome creation.Happy Birthday Stewey!!!!


Sittin in my lawn Chair
Out in the yard.
40 minutes later
It was dark.
Crickets started crickin
Birds they ceased to squelch
two minutes later
A frog had to belch
CHORUS
This is some life
I'm sure you'll agree
Living in the Path
of totality
Sure nuff it was sumpin
It was a site to see
Living in the path
Of totality


I got up early
Like all my peers
This kinda thing don't happen
Once in a hundred years
Neighbors with their glasses
Looked up at the sky
Better wear protection
So you don't hurt your eye
CHORUS
Tried to take a picture
But it burnt my lense
shoulda read the instructions
But I aint got no sense
Then just like that
Day turned into night
It even freaked out
The motion sensor light
CHORUS
Ill tell you what
Been quite the day
It started out
An unusual way
Some just watched
On the news
It was right here
For me to view

CHORUS
This is some life
I'm sure you'll agree
Living in the Path
of totality
Sure nuff it was sumpin
It was a site to see
Living in the path
Of totality





THE END
