Pop a Top

(Nat Stuckey)



Pop a top again

I think I'll have another round

Another one my friend

Then I'll be gone

And you can let some other fool sit down.



I'd like for you to listen to a joke I heard today

From a woman who said she was through

And calmly walked away

I tried to smile and did awhile but it felt so out of place

Did you ever hear of a clown

With teardrops streaming down his face.



Pop a top again

I think I'll have another round

Another one my friend

Then I'll be gone

And you can let some other fool sit down.



All to me is misery and here I'm wasting time

'Cause a row of fools on a row of stools

Is not what's on my mind

But then you see her leaving me

Is not what I prefer

So it's either here a drinking beer

Or home rememberin' her.



Pop a top again

I think I'll have another round

Another one my friend

Then I'll be gone

And you can let some other fool sit down...
