Jim Ed Brown – Barrooms And Pop A Tops

Soda shop children to five o’clock bars a giant step in just a few years

Freckle faced girls to painted up women from chocolate cup Sundays to bottles of beer

Barrooms and pop a tops are long way from soda shops

Those pick me ups now let me down

Barrooms and pop a tops are long way from soda shops

Bartender let’s have one more round

Sittin’ and thinkin’ as I’ll go on drinkin’

And thoughts take me back to my childhood dreams

A bein’ a superstar drivin’ a fancy car till I found out the world’s not what it seems

Barrooms and pop a tops…

[ piano ]

For those freckle faced girls are now painted up women

And some can be found at this bar around five

I’ll bet they’re thinking back to some little soda shacks

And wishing those days had never passed by

Barrooms and pop a tops…

Barrooms and pop a tops…
