Path of Totality, by Jailhouse Payback

The path of totality is wide
We've been thrown into darkness
Brothers killing sisters
Fathers disowning sons
Mothers crying for their babies what have we become

The ghost of Abe would be ashamed
We're dividing up our stars
So it's just you and me
Crossin' states with no car
Turn up Bruce on my headphones
Get away from this war

Will we look up at the sky,
then say goodbye?
Will we look up at the sky,
and say goodbye?

The sun is almost gone
Put your glasses on
We'll be lucky not to make it
Soon we'll cover up our eyes
And let our boat capsize

Will we look up at the sky,
then say goodbye?
Will we look up at the sky,
and say goodbye?
Will we look up at the sky,
then say goodbye?
Will we look up at the sky,
then say goodbye?

Oregon to Myrtle Beach by Jailhouse Payback

We packed up our bags
And got on that Greyhound Bus
From Oregon to Boise we held each other close
When we made it to Yellowstone
No charge left on my phone
No need to call mom or dad
We're not going home

Casper to Lincoln
You closed your eyes
But I stayed awake
and watched you sleep all night
There's still a meanness in this world
We can't make it go away.
No!

Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?
Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?

Columbia to Nashville
Charlotte to Myrtle Beach
We've crossed mountains and mighty rivers
Seen all there is to see
The sun has gone away
Tomorrow will be too late
So hold my hand, let's close our eyes
All we can do is pray

Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?
Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?
Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?
Can we really go blind when the sun goes behind the moon?
