Lyric Popcorn Box - Edwin McCain

Lyric Song Popcorn Box: "There s a black girl singin in the morning before church
cause she wants things just right
There s a white boy holdin his head
cause he stayed out too late last night
At the same time Mamma s yellin
move your asses or I ll leave you behind
The god lord don t wait for sinners all day
especially sinners of your kind

CHORUS
The old days
The old ways of the drive in picture show
It s a factif it was opened babyyou and mewe d surely go
The picture rolls bysoundtrack lowbut we don t see a thing
Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box
at the bottom is a diamond ring yes
I love youcould youhold me tight
like we re pretending it ain t about black or white

Sun burns hot early in the morning
small townbest hush my mouth
We ve all got closets that we live in
Down at Baker s house
the right fun with the wrong one
that s things we don t talk about
Hell always seems to rise to the surface
on that you can count

CHORUS
The old days
The old ways of the drive in picture show
It s a factif it was opened babyyou and mewe d surely go
the picture rolls bysoundtrack lowbut we don t see a thing
Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box
at the bottom is a diamond ring yes
I love youcould youhold me tight
like we re pretending it ain t about black or white

Young man makes a young man s stand
tries to stand up tall
Old man from the same clan
bangs his head against the wall
Life s roughit just get s tougher
but that ain t no thingit s always one thing
or anotherlet me tell you brother
Shut your mouth boy and sing

CHORUS
The old days
The old ways of the drive in picture show
It s a factif it was opened babyyou and mewe d surely go
the picture rolls bysoundtrack lowbut we don t see a thing
Feel around in the middle of your popcorn box
at the bottom is a diamond ring yes
I love youcould youhold me tight
like we re pretending it ain t about black or white

I love youcould youhold me tight
like we re pretending it ain t about black or white"
