Pop a Top
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · The Best of Jim Ed Brown [K-Tel] [2005]
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...
