Yeah I Said It

yes I saw a UFO
Or what's now called a UAP
GLIDING ABOVE THE water
Of the river Tennessee

I was with my brother
We were stoned
It is the truth

There on the bank
About a mile from our mom's
Back in my misspent youth

Yes.It was shaped like a saucer
Encircled with lights around
A spotlight upon the river below
It never made a sound

My brother the first to see it
Exclaimed
Do you see what I see ?

My mind trying hard
To repell it
I said point it out to me


He said I cannot believe this!
As I slowly came to grip
With this other worldly sighting
If it happens to you here's my tip

 
Accept what your eyes are seeing
There is no point to deny
And irritate your fellow man about visitors from the sky


The strangest thing about it all
When I've brought it up
Over the years


Is he never wants to
talk of it
As if resurrecting his fears

And I can't help but wonder
As a sportsman
They seemed to have sought

In Waterloo Alabama that night
Was it actually
My brother they caught

If it's true
They threw him back
With nary a hair out of place

At least with none
he discussed with me
By our visitors from outer space
