Artist/Band: George Jones
Lyrics for Song: Pyramid of Cans
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - George Jones



From: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack



I drink from cans then stack 'em in a pyramid so high

As a monument to how I feel since she told me goodbye

I like my friends around me 'cause they all understand

Why I keep her momery buried beneath the pyramid of cans.



Chorus:

The power of the pyramid I don't understand

It's a mystery that gets bigger with every empty can

I stack them high and watch them fall like a castle in the sand

Then I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans.



--- Instrumental ---



We use to come here often 'cause the band would play our songs

Now I wonder if they wonder why I come in all alone

Lately I'm here every night, they think I'm the biggest fan

But the power that's pulling me in here is the pyramid of cans.



Chorus:

The power of the pyramid I don't understand

It's a mystery that gets bigger with every empty can

I stack them high and watch them fall like a castle in the sand

Then I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans.



I drink one more and start another pyramid of cans.
