Pop on Down

Pop on down to the old oak tree where we carved our names
And vowed that we would never cheat at a game of wits
But here we are where these handshakes are broken and bloodstains are poison to you
So join me what have you got to lose, I won't tell no lies
Tanya said a dirty word to me I won't say it now
It's much too terrible to repeat Have I got your ear
I'm telling you the stories I know and the things that I want you to hear
So join me what've you got to fear I won't tell no lies

Phone me when you get home safe, clean and sound
Won't you scratch her name into these journals I found
Come on don't replace me she's got dirt in her nails and a stone heart
But ain't it funny how people grow apart

Momma told me she would take good care of the little boy
That lived just underneath our stairs but he ran away
And so it seems that I've been disappointed in momma to this very day
And no one will come here to play what a big surprise
Tanya wore a pretty blue dress to church and she tied her hair
Up neat in two little bows and pursed her lips at me
But when she went to flip o'er the page her hand slipped and she started to bleed
And blue turns into red it seems, what a big surprise

Phone me when you get home safe, clean and sound
Won't you scratch her name into these journals I found
Come on don't replace me she's got dirt in her nails and a stone heart
But ain't it funny how people grow apart
Phone me when you get home safe, clean and sound
Won't you scratch her name into these journals I found
Come on don't replace me she's got dirt in her nails and a stone heart
But ain't it funny how people grow apart
