Pop a Top

(Nat Stuckey)



Pop a top again

I've just got time for one more round

Set 'em up 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 remembering 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...
