"Pop A Top" lyrics

Pop A Top

Pop a top again
I've just got time for one more round
So set him up, my friend
And 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'd tried to smile
And did a while
But it felt so out of place
Did you ever hear
Of a clown with tear
Drops 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

Home to me is misery
And here I am 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
Drinking beer
Or at 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
