Pop a Top
Alan Jackson · Very Best of Alan Jackson [BMG International] [2004]
Pop a top again
I've just got time for one more round
Set em up my friends then I'll be gone
Then you can let some other fool sit down.
I'd like for you'd to listen to a joke I heard today
From a woman who said she was through and calmly walked away
I'd tried to smile and did a while, it felt so outta place
Did you ever hear of a clown with tears drops streamming down his face.
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Set em up my friend
Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down.
--- Instrumental ---
Home for me is misery and here I'm a-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, it's not what I perfer
So it's either here just drinking beer or at home remembering her.
Pop a top again
I think I'll have another round
Set em up my friend
Then I'll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down.
Pop a top again...
