[Verse 1]
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 fudge sundaes to bottles of beer

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Sittin' and thinkin' as I go on drinkin'
And thoughts take me back to my childhood dreams
Of being a superstar drivin' a fancy car
'Til I found out the world's not what it seems

[Chorus]
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 onе more round

[Verse 3]
For those frecklе 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

[Chorus]
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
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
