Lift Ring Pull Open

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Just for You [RCA] [1970]

(J. Cooper - J. Galli)



There are four words that I printed

On most every can of beer

Four words that I live by

Since my baby's gone away from here.



I've sampled all the different friends

From every brewery

And found one that goes down just right

And soothes my sorrow to a tea.



Lift ring, pull open

It's all spelled out for you

Nothing could be more easy

It's something any fool can do.



Lift ring, pull open

And have a drink with me

As I try to forget I'm a loser

And drown my misery.



Yes, sometimes life seems so useless

Still there are things to look forward to

A little music from a jukebox

And a cool refreshing brew.



A friendly game of poker

With stakes that are too high

Such things will help me pass the time

Until the day I die.



Lift ring, pull open

That's all you have to do

Nothing could be more easy

It's something any fool can do.



Lift ring, pull open

And tip a can with me

As I try to forget I'm a loser

And escape this misery.



Lift ring, pull open

Don't even need a key

I'll just pop a top and drink

To the last drop and drown my misery...
