Pop A Top

(앨범: Honky Tonk Angel - 1974)

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.

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...
