William Elliott Whitmore - Solar Flare

Saw some old friends the other day
At a funeral for another old friend
Time makes fools of us all, so they say
But I'm a fool that needs reminding now and then

Just how short life can be
As long as it may seem
Just moments that connect future and past
Every second that goes by
I sit and wonder why
I'm not living every day like it's my last

Tomorrow there might be a solar flare
That knocks out the whole entire grid
The truth of the matter is I don't even care
I'm satisfied with the life that I live
I'm satisfied with the life that I live

After the service is over
We all went back to the house to have a beer
Sit around the kitchen table
Laugh a lot and shared a couple tears

We've been through so much together
Black powder and voodoo dolls
This just sounds like fun
We'll light the fuse and run
It's a wonder that we made it through at all

Tomorrow there might be a solar flare
A meteor might strike us all dead
The truth of the matter is that I don't even care
I'm satisfied with the life that I live
I'm satisfied with the life that I live

Saw some old friends the other day
At a funeral for another old friend
Let's not wait for someone else to pass away
Before we get together again

Tomorrow there might be a solar flare
I might fall off my horse, hit my head
The truth of the matter is that I don't even care
I'm satisfied with the life that I live
I'm satisfied with the life that I live
